Likely the mouse focus is still in the GUI part (the font family widget of the text tool controls bar), and thus typed input is interpreted as keyboard shortcut commands, as reported earlier in
- Bug #1222425 “Text Tool Focus UI Problems”
Similar earlier reports:
- Bug #694638 “Text object looks like it has the focus, but doesn't”
- Bug #687517 “Mouse focus is trapped in the 'Font size' GtkComboBoxEntry on the Text options toolbar”
- Bug #671532 “Losing focus/selection”
