Just to add another 2cents to the discussion. I never complained about the titlebox, but as the discussion is open: I _really_ dislike the initial box. Most of the time, it isn't even the size I need. And you can't edit it because it is locked. I'd like to suggest 1) A startup dialog whn selecting a 'new window', asking for the size of the titlebox wanted. For those who are fans of the present block size, you can even preselect the actual size, so only 'Enter' has to be pressed to get it. 2) Set the zoom factor to a logical size, and center the view to the middle of the field. Also, I believe that a newbie would more easily and intuitively find a zoom function than the trick selecting the entire block, finding the unluck in the menu, etc. Another approach would be to leave the titleblock selectable by simply clicking, even if locked. If it then can't be moved or deleted, +that+ does give the impression of being locked and might lead the user to the unlock option.
