SUGGESTION: Sentence Diagrammer Bug and "Missing" Tools

I've had a chance to give the Sentence Diagrammer in L4 a pretty good work out. I like it much better than the one in L3, but I have found a bug and have a couple of suggestions for needed improvements.

  1. The Indirect Object symbol has a bug. It does not allow changing the height of the symbol like the symbols for other modifiers do. That is, the other modifiers allow you to grab the bottom right of the symbol and change the height of the line connecting to a base line--the indirect object symbol does not.
  2. You need to add a toggle button to the munu bar with Insert Passage, Page, Display, etc on it that would toggle shape handles on and off. Having to go to Display then turn handles on/off is too awkward--having a toggle button would be very handy for this often used feature.
  3. A combined left and right Conjunction and Goalpost symbol is needed. This need is easily seen in sentences with compound verbs for example. A left and right symbol can be cobbled together now, but it takes time and it is very hard to line up the two halves; and resizing one side does not resize the other. 

Thanks--Terry
