+- Sketch text can be edited from a letter interior or outline's context menu or the Edit Text command.
+  Interior selection requires every profile boundary to belong to the same text source;
+  the editor highlights the whole source without replacing profile selections.
   Content, baseline X/Y, height and rotation update the original text source in one undo step;
   cancelling or rejecting an invalid value preserves the sketch. Position and height fields
   use the document units captured when editing starts; generated outlines remain associated
