In Ubuntu 12.04, I don't quite get the crash, but the text-editor is buggy. You choose a font, it keeps sans and you have to assign the font again. After copying a text layer (pretty fundamental to any text effect operation), it moves the topmost layer on editing.
Really frustrating. Will go back to 2.6 and hence why official repositories have kept it there -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1071332 Title: Gimp crashes editing a text label To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/gimp/+bug/1071332/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
