Bug Description

Pinta master on Windows XP:
1. New image 1000 x 1000.
2. Text tool from Tools pad.
3. Click on canvas and type in some text like: test
4. Mark whole text with SHIFT+LEFT_KEY
5. Now try to add some: bold, italic, underline with keyboard like: CTRL+B, CTRL+I, CTRL+U.
This shortcuts do not work. For CTRL+B there is even View-->Best_Fit shortcut.

It is expected when text is used that there are standard keyboard shortcuts available for text.

Also when text object is in use there is comnon use for CTRL+A to select whole text. But now it selects whole image from keyboard shortcut Edit-->Select_All.

This is partially whis and partially a usability bug = users expect to have the same behavior in text editor and in Text object in Pinta.

P.S. Maybe we can postpone this problem after 1.5.

Just a note to this problem of having all of the keyboard Text problems on one place: Using BACKSPACE or DELETE key in font size window also executes Pinta image keyboard shortcuts as reported in bug 1085680.

This can wait for Pinta 1.6. It seems like those issues with backspace/delete only happen with an active selection, if I recall correctly.
