No, not true, there was a previous bug that suggested this. This doesnt make sense because eg, you might want to select multiple text frames and change their location rather than their text properties. Then you would have to select the frame, select the XYZ tab of properties palette, then change the values.

craig, doesn't it make sense from today's perspective? Or are there cases when it could be desirable, e.g. going into text edit mode? If not, we could reject and close this one.

Still makes no sense in terms of the current Properties palette. This can be closed. Properties palette is on its deathbed anyway in its current form.

Oh, and to back up my statement, I cleanly proved my point to a few interested parties at LGM. Yes, in some cases it DOES make sense, but not enough to warrant the change..
