Description

Task

The 'Edit element' action does nothing for these frame types:

  • Vertical frame
  • Horizontal frame
  • Fretboard diagram legend

It should be disabled in the context menu.

Note: 'Edit element' should stay enabled for 'Text frame' elements because it triggers text editing mode.
