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 Desktop Packages, which is subscribed to gimp in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1071332 Title: Gimp crashes editing a text label Status in “gimp” package in Ubuntu: Confirmed Bug description: I have a crash editing a text label.
