Text tool doesn't work OSX 10.9.5

[Tom]

When I have an image file open (jpg) and choose the text tool and start typing, nothing happens except different letters that I type end up choosing other tools. For some reason the characters that I type do not get input into the empty text box.

I have seen a lot of this in bug tracker and mailing list, for example:

I don't use OSX, but in order to debug the problem, can you please download development version from: http://forge.pinta-project.com/ Click on zip file download and extract, then run command: mono Pinta.exe
Development version does NOT install anything on system, just zip file is extracted and after testing you can just delete those files and you are clean of development version.

Can you perform the test with development version, so that we know if this problem was already fixed or not?

Can you also please provide info what is your mono version with command: mono --version
I have seen several posts that it may be the mono version that is not compatible with Pinta, so this info could really help.

I will. I don't know if I can do today but I will.

I am actually a software tester at my regular job...

Pinta is nice program would be nice to see that fixed.

I tried to run dev version and it wouldn't run. See output of that as well as mono version:

I downloaded prior versions until finding that version 1.3 is the last one that allows typing text.

The version after 1.3 activate hotkeys instead of typing text. Ctrl-C works to paste, though.... Anyway, I'm using 1.3 now. Thank you for your hard work... I used Paint.Net in Windows and needed something similar now that I'm using Mac.
