Actually, I have the same problem in Linux (ver 21439); I generally type
text and then modify it with the Text Dialogue so I don't know when this
started, but currently the font dropdown does nothing. Additionally, it
does not go away when a font is clicked or double clicked, I have to click
away from the menu to get rid of it. The font size dropdown works fine.
