Title:
  saves "ghost" empty text boxes

Status in Inkscape: A Vector Drawing Tool:
  New
Status in “inkscape” package in Ubuntu:
  New

Bug description:
  Steps to reproduce:

  - select the text tool
  - draw the area where you want to write the text
  - Whops, that was not exactly the area I want it, let's redraw it from scratch
  - One more time
  - save into plain SVG (I guess Inkscape SVG would do as well)

  Expected result: the empty textboxes should be completely forgotten
  and deleted; OR they should be visible and accessible, so that you
  know they are there and you can move, modify, or remove them

  Observed: everything looks like those text boxes you accidentally drew
  and left empty don't exist. You can't see them, you can't select them,
  you can't reuse them and write into them, or delete them. YET they are
  saved into the SVG file.

  You get garbage empty useless invisible text areas that you can't even
  delete.
