[proFit-list] changing text in a text object programmatically

[Chris Lee]

Actually, I think something very strange is happening.

If I change the shape name, the second option, pf.SetShapeProperties(name = ‘X’, text = some_string), worked once. If I change the name again, it doesn’t seem to work.

I also note that if I change the shape name, its position shifts…
