 Not possible to Modify/Exend tracks under/over the bounding box of text. When I click on the track, the double-ended arrow and circle appears (to indicate the Modify/Extend function is active), but then if I drag the mouse, the track does not change length.

-Despite it recognising the track being there (as shown by the double arrow and circle), there is a message in the status bar which says 'Text can only be modified in Describe Mode''. I can understand why you have a 'Text can only be modified in Describe Mode' error catch in case a user tries to edit text with the Modify function but its stopping the Modifyextend function working properly. I am guessing somewhere the modift/Extend function is wrongly picking up the existence of the text bounding box and it is stopping the main part of the track Modify/Extend function from working properly.

 Also need consistency in naming. What is Describe mode? is it a legacy (or new) name name for the Change Object Properties button. The button tooltip still shows 'Change Object Properties'. Whichever naming convention you are going with on this the help file, dynamic tutorials, user interface, button tooltips, etc, all need to be consistent.
