The text tool is still a work in progress, as everything in GIMP 2.7. I guess the current state has not been merged to the git master. as for now you need to select the text layer in the layers dialog, then click the text on the canvas. No cursor is shown, but you can remove and write text. you can also double click a word to select it. There are some more bugs currently i guess... If text sunndely disappears or is duplicated you can use CTRL+Z to undo it and continue the work then. -- Bernhard S.
