Like the editors (IDE/MEditor) are now, there is no text either: the visual part
of the editor is just a Pixmap. The actual text-data is in an underlying
sequence. This sequence is used to copy/paste the text. This underlying text
doesn't change with the new mechanism: it's just the method of RENDERING the text
that changes.
