Uh-oh...

(trying to sync). Which object is concerned with the problem ?

I *think* I hadn't written an explicit text_bbox routine, because it would
be basically an alias for text_calc_boundingbox() (it may be a good thing to
add an inline at the end of lib/boundingbox.h for symmetry's sake). Or maybe
it would be more something like:

void text_bbox(/* const */ Text *text,
               const ElementBBExtras *extra,
               Rectangle *rout) 
{
   text_calc_boundingbox(text,rout); 
   if (!extra) return;
   rout->left -= extra->border_trans;   
   rout->top -= extra->border_trans;    
   rout->right += extra->border_trans;  
   rout->bottom += extra->border_trans; 
}

All would be missing, then, would be to plus that in the relevant update
function (again, which object ?)
