Description

I am writing a plugin that replaces the text of a composer label based on its itemID. The text in the label says "Original text" in this example.

When I change the text of the label using:

item.setText("Hello World")

the label changes on the composer but the text in the Item Properties panel for the label doesn't, it stays as "Original text".

If I call item.displayText() before and after I change the label text this returns "Hello World".

How do I get the text to change in the Item Properties panel? Using qgis 1.8 and 1.9

If I save the project and reopen it, it displays the changed text "Hello World".

I have attached a screenshot to demonstrate.

thanks for looking at this. I will test once osgeo4w updates to a new version and let you know.

It works with this mornings update.

Thanks for fixing this.

Any chance this can make its way into the next release (1.8.1?) so I can utilise it on a stable version of QGIS rather than having to wait for 1.9/2.0 to come out?
