1. It doesn't make sense to keep the entry window on the Text tab grayed

out and unusable when a new text entry point is designated on the canvas. One should be able to begin to type immediately in the window rather than having to wait until one character is typed with the Text Tool over the canvas.

OK, but where will this text object go when you click Apply? Center of screen?

2. It would be useful to put a message such as "No text selected" in the

window on the Text tab instead of leaving the text from the last selected text there.

Agreed, it's worth a RFE

3. The Font Family in the dialog is not updated when text is selected

using the selection tool (it is when text is selected with the text tool).

Indeed, please file a bug about that.
