I think the text toolbar in general needs to be overhauled. It's not good that some options are missing from the toolbar, as well as it's not good that you can get different results/behavior from the toolbar and the text and font dialog. Note that I haven't used the text features in a couple months, but when I last did, I almost exclusively was forced to use the text dialog instead of the toolbar, which was frustrating.
Yes, it very much needs an overhaul.
I was looking at it as part of converting all the toolbars to stock. Much of what is going on there is the code stealing events and trying to manually do everything, instead of fitting into existing GTK/GTKmm widgets and behavior.
If anyone wants to look into this before I get time to address it, please drop me a line and we can coordinate info and timing.
