Invisable Text

Howdy;

I'm running Kubuntu 16.04 here, on an amd64 box, and just upgraded to gimp 2.8.22. When I try to add text to a picture, nothing happens. I try to change colors, nothing happens. Type text, or get it from a file, nothig happens. I'm not sure how to discribe it, but sometimes there's an indication that a text cursor has moved during a typing attempt, but still no text.

What gives?

Use the text tool to draw a large rectangle. Make sure that the text colour in Tool Options contrasts with the background. Make sure that the text layer is uppermost. Check that the font size in tool options is plausible, as is the choice of font. Do not play with the on-canvas text options at all during this process, use only the Tool Options dock.

After typing some text check in the lyers dock that the text layer is on top and has layer mode Normal.
