[Sodipodi-list] Text editing dialog bug

[Lynn K. <lf...@ke...>]

There was a thread a while back about bugs in text editing/entry where I
mentioned a problem I was experiencing with the text editing dialog not
working at all.  I have finally stumbled on a reliable way to produce the
condition.

Start sodipodi
Create 2 new document windows
Create a multi-line text object in one document (3 or 4 lines is plenty)
Select that text
Open the Text Editing Dialog

At this point, the text in the dialog is fully editable.  I still think
that a scrollbar would be a useful addition, but it is possible to move
around within the text and it scrolls as needed.

Focus the other document window
Focus the window with the multi-line text again
Go back to the (still-open) Text Editing Dialog
Dialog is pretty much non-functional

Closing the dialog and re-opening it seems to restore functionality, though
at this point the apply button is out of step with font changes, alignment
changes, etc.  Since I often have multiple documents open in Sodipodi and
I use the "focus follows mouse" behavior this focus change often happens
by accident on my way to the dialog window.

This seems to be yet another symptom of the more pervasive tool focus
problems I've been seeing when opening more (or less) than 1 document
in Sodipodi.
