How do I move text along a connecting arrow/line?

Hello. 
Some time ago it was possible to move the text typed on a connecting line along the line. I mean you could choose position of the text due to make all diagram clear and neat. Now I see that the moving handle seems to be gone, and the text is always blocked in the center of the connecting line. It’s quite annoying. Is it possible to return the option? Thanks.

Hi @Mikheo 

 

Thanks for reaching out!

 

I tested this feature on my end, and here's what I found: If you click on the text within the connection line, you can hold and drag it along the line to reposition it.

 

Could you please check if this works for you? If this isn't the feature you were referring to, let me know, and we'll look into it further!

Thank you so much Eca, it works! 


I was struggling with the same issue and found the following pattern works on an already existing text:

  1. Select the connector (just single click, not double-click which triggers inserting of another Text)
  2. With connector selected, you can drag-and-move the text as long as you start with the mouse aperture within the relevant “Text-box”. The small dot on the connector seems irrelevant and can’t be used to move the text, at least for me...
