Thank you! Now when I do a "select all" their nodes are selected as well. I didn't realize my Inkscape was so out of date, I've gotten so used to programs updating themselves.

Sure. I've contacted them too, so I am hoping from some feedback on that side as well.

So I actually have 4 textboxes, with just 1 character in each (alpha, omega, tilde, and an infinity sign). I did all of them individually.

When I select text and choose "Object to Path" it doesn't really behave like a regular vector. ⋅ I can no longer edit it as text (this is good) ⋅ If I do a select all, the nodes of all vectors are selected except for the ones that used to be text (this is strange) &sdot...
