Text on path Problem with Textposition

That should do the trick, thanks!
But what I don’t understand is, why it doesn’t work with “shift click” and the “set shape start point”?

The Tooltip describes exacly what it does and what I expect from it…without impact to the text to path

Nevertheless, would be excellent to have that flip funktion working and another “offset” number field for the distance from left, center or right to be able to position it correctly o the path.

By the way: there is a offset field already

what is that used for? Seems not to do something either
