Description

Describe the issue

"Frame" is used in two different contexts in the program UI. Firstly in the context of text/vertical/horizontal frames; and secondly as a property in the "Text" section of properties. This is potentially confusing for users and forces a workaround in the documentation.

IMV, a solution is to change the word "Frame" in the "Properties" panel to "Border". This would remove the ambiguity, and free up the word "Frame" for exclusive use as a layout device.

Contributor guide

Research direction
Locate the string 'Frame' in the Properties panel UI code and replace it with 'Border'. Ensure consistency across translations.
