"instanceof Text" always returns false [solved]

Issue

selection.items[0] instanceof Text always return false, even if a a text object is selected

Expected Behavior

it should return true if a text object is selected

Actual Behavior

returns false

Workaround

(selection.items[0] + "").startsWith("Text"); will return the correct value

@tp_up
did you try selection.items[0].constructor.name == "Text"?

that works too.
i was using instanceof, because the start plugin example uses instanceof Rectangle
