After more experimentation, I see that this is the situation: If I click the canvas outside the text field, then the Gimp Text Editor window gets focus and I cannot move the text with the keyboard (nor the mouse, because I was not clicking on the text field). If I click the canvas on the in the text field, then I can move the text field with the arrow keys, but I still cannot drag it with the mouse. > GIMP in trunk already allows on-canvas text editing.

Or should I not even bother and waste their time? -- Dotan Cohen http://what-is-what.com http://gibberish.co.il א-ב-ג-ד-ה-ו-ז-ח-ט-י-ך-כ-ל-ם-מ-ן-נ-ס-ע-ף-פ-ץ-צ-ק-ר-ש-ת ä-ö-ü-ß-Ä-Ö-Ü _______________________________________________ Gimp-user mailing list Gimp-user@lists.XCF.Berkeley.EDU https://lists.XCF.Berkeley.EDU/mailman/listinfo/gimp-user
