I noticed that in the more recent versions of Adobe Illustrator the program liberally assumes that I want to convert my lines into text paths-- meaning that any time I am even in the vicinity of a line while using the text tool instead of letting me click on an open area and start typing it assumes that a closeby path is what I want to contain my text. It is annoying.
I couldn't find anything in the preferences to modify the range of what it considers something I want to type on. Is there a way to do that?

while over/near a path, it doesn't put the text on the path. It does, however, create the text as a text box with a seemingly random size and position... other versions might give other results...
