A text can follow a curve of its sketch (its **Path**). That curve becomes construction: the
letters stand on it and their descenders cross it, so as a normal curve it would cut them into
pieces, and picking the text would pick those pieces. Taking the text off the curve leaves it
construction; **Normal/Construction** turns it back.
Drag a text outline to move all its letters together. Let go to finish in one undo step,
or press **Esc** during the drag to restore the original text. The text stays editable.
For an exact displacement, select an outline and choose **Move/Copy** from its context menu.
