This issue has been discussed with upstream. They don't think that this is bug, but Feature request and even not such important request, so they will put it in their long term plan. Anyway, when user remove font name from this field, user should know, what type of information should be filled in this field. And even, when user starts typing something in this field, automatically is shown list of available fonts, so user can choose one of them. Because of the upstream answer, I am closing this issue as NOTABUG.

Do you mind linking the upstream bug in "External Trackers" on this report?
One easy, oneline, near-time fix might be:
gtk_entry_set_placeholder_text (entry, _("Type font name here"));
Yes, this fix could work, if actual version of GIMP uses GTK+3 library. Unfortunately, GIMP uses just GTK+, so this function is unavailable for current GIMP version. GIMP version after 2.10 will get GTK+3, so there will be the right time to use this fix. What about a drop-down list of fonts like LibraOffice has? |
Created attachment 1191945 [details] This is the text box that is completely blank Description of problem: When adding or editing a text box in GIMP, the list of fonts can become blank if you delete what is in the font search box. When that font box is empty, there should be a tool tip or an icon of a search magnifying glass to designate what it is to show the user that it is a search box. I am putting this bug to GIMP if GTK will let GIMP add this feature. If not, this should be moved to GTK.
