Hello
The Text tool always annoys me because I want it to remain with the option "dynamic" and it always goes to "Fixed".
What should be done to open it by default on the "Dynamic" option?

Guessing That the first thing you do with the text tool is draw a text box on the canvas to define the position. This is common with other graphic applications. In Gimp this becomes fixed because you have just defined the size by pulling out the handles.

All you need to do with the text tool is click on the canvas and start typing in text. The text 'box' will remain dynamic.

Need to move it to a new position? Still in the text tool, use Ctrl-Alt-left-click in the text and drag around the canvas.



Better than moving as a layer later on.

thank you rich2005
Your explanations are always very clear.
