Text editing deficiencies
Maybe this should be separate items. Since musescore.com capped postings at 5000 chars, I am no longer able to use "About" to express chapter-length writings, and have been forced to using, nay, exploiting, Staff Text and Text Frames, which suffer similar difficulties:
- No "undo" of text operations.
- Cut/paste loses all typography, e.g., italics.
- Pasting a multi-line cut, instead of creating new lines, merges them with lines there, unlike
every other editing tool known, with no easy way to fix. - Sure would like clickable links.
Of course, the lack of word-wrap is a huge problem, requiring manual filling every time extant text is changed.
How about "real edit box as provided by the operating system"?
I don't hope for these any time soon, but they are constant annoyances covering reasonable expectations.

Maybe something for https://musescore.org/en/node/272132 or https://musescore.org/en/node/272131 ?
Undo is working for 3.0, which is nice, but the rest is still valid. We often say we don't intend to implement a full-fledged word processor, but it's worth considering what is worth doing. I think this could make an interesting GSoC project.
I wouldn't mind the ability to assign color to a lesser extent than the full text.
