Drawing Format Text Dialog Box Location, Size, or Docked?

[Steven.ware]

When I need to edit any text on a drawing in Inventor, the Format Text Dialog Box opens wherever it wants to.  I can dock it to the Ribbon, edit my test, and OK my changes.  If I edit the same drawing text again, the dialog box opens somewhere other than where I docked it.  Other dialog boxes I have docked to the Ribbon always open in the same docked location.  If I dock the Format Text Dialog Box, it should always open in the same docked location and at the same size.   This would help tremendously for repetitious text editing and be more closely similar how other dialog boxes behave.

I agree.  It should remember the docked size and position..... which is exactly what it does for me using 2020.2.2.

I just updated to Inventor 2020.2.2 ,  and the Format Test Dialog Box is still acting the same.

Double click on any text to edit, move and Dock Format Test Dialog Box to the ribbon near the Browser panel, edit text, click OK, double click same text to edit,  and Format Test Dialog Box has moved and is no longer Docked to the Ribbon.

Yes the dialog box can be docked to ribbon,  but it still seems that it is for that text edit session only.  The next text to be edited, the dialog box moves and is still no longer docked to the ribbon.

Here is a screencast of me changing the size and location of the dialog. The size and position of eh dialog is remembered between edits.  I could not dock this dialog on the ribbon. Maybe I am missing something.

Thanks for the video.  Here is one that shows what I am seeing.   (Boy lots of hoops to jump through just to upload a video).
