GIMP Error
Your text cannot be rendered. It is likely too big. Please make it shorter or use a smaller font.

Can't type any text at all into an image/onto a layer. Made the text smaller and changed the line spacing etc so it fits. It did for a while but stopped again....disappeared and I got this error again.

Edit:- Just did a restart of gimp. Closed it down and started up again and it is working fine.

That restarting works for me 90% of the time.

Some really strange things happen.
