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.
