--- Comment #6 from Tyson Tan <tysont...@gmail.com> ---
Today I found out what broke the droplist workaround, as well as discovering a
new workaround to make use of font styles.



### What broke the droplist workaround:

For some reason, now in 4.3.0prealpha, whenever I tried to input some letters
inside the Text Editor's font name droplist, the moment I put the second
letter, all new letters (the first and second letter I just input) get
HIGHLIGHTED. So now if I input a third letter, the previous two letters are
deleted.



### Workaround 1:

Press Left Arrow key to cancel the highlight state and move the input cursor to
the end. Do this once every two letters are input.

To input "Bold":
1) Input "B" and "o"
2) Press Left arrow
3) Input "l"
4) Press Left arrow
5) Input "d"
6) Press Left arrow

If the added letters match a style name, it will be activated.



### Workaround 2:

Tool options panel of the Text tool has a font droplist as well, and that
droplist for some reason lists EVERY font style. In this way we can determine a
font with its native style before we create the actual text.



### The missing Bold style:

Curiously though, this droplist in Tool options doesn't list any font's Bold
style! I wonder whether the Bold ones were linked to/confused with the Bold 
button in Text Editor's toolbar, which in turn broke both ways as a result?
