Still works in 6.3.4.2.  They appear in Navigator (Drawing Objects), where you
can double-click to get them back (also to drag and insert text).

FWIW - as user, was often frustrated when trying to drag empty textboxes (i.e.
sympathy for OP).  Learned to put single character as workaround.

Proposal for alternative behavior:  
   If ((new empty text box) && drag))
   then keep   (i.e., added to Navigator, like Ctrl-Z)
   else Drop   (current behavior)

(Assumption is: user dragging an empty textbox is going to insert immediately
afterwards, minimizing "orphan" problem from comment #2.)

Should this bug have "major" importance?
