Using the [text] object in M4L

It seems that collecting numbers with the [text] object works in M4L only when the device is opened in the editor. Is this a limitation or a bug?

Ok, I've found that the problem seems related only to the 'editing window' of the [text] object. Collecting the numbers works well in performance mode and they can be read with the line message, but the content is not shown when opening the device editor and double-clicking the [text] object.
