Has anyone else had a problem with the ExpressTools textmask command working properly on Mtext after using the new Mtext Background command. I used the Mtext Background and then decided I wanted to use textmask instead. The text is erased/deleted when textmask is run. The masked area appears but the text is completely gone. There is also no way to select the masked area - turning the text frame on has no affect. I had to use the undo command to get rid of the masking and bring back my text. I had to recreate the text from scratch to be able to use the Textmask command.

I like the new Mtext Background for some things but there are times when I still prefer the ExpressTools textmasking.
