Reproduction Steps

I seem to have found a small conversion bug.

1. Create texture aura.
2. Set alpha to 50%.
3. Right-click the aura, Convert to, Text aura.
4. Your text aura is now 50% alpha too, but you can't control the alpha anymore (that setting doesn't exist for text; and no, it isn't the Font Color alpha, that one is at 100%).

Temporary workaround: Convert back to Texture aura, set alpha to 100%, then convert to Text aura again.

Proposed fix: Set the overall aura alpha to 100% when converting to text. And don't bother copying the alpha into the text color, since that's just weird and would lead to color changing when converting.

Edit: An even better fix: Make "text" auras ignore the hidden "alpha" aura value and always use 100% alpha when an aura is text. This has the benefit that converting back/forth between Text and Texture aura will always preserve the Texture mode's alpha value.
