GIMP hangs when renaming a layer with capital letters using shift key

[Mitch Curtis]

Steps to reproduce:

- Open GIMP
- Create a new image
- Try to rename the layer to something containing a capital letter using the
shift key

GNU Image Manipulation Program version 2.6.12

using GEGL version 0.0.22 (compiled against version 0.0.22)
using GLib version 2.32.3 (compiled against version 2.32.1)
using GTK+ version 2.24.10 (compiled against version 2.24.10)
using Pango version 1.30.0 (compiled against version 1.30.0)
using Fontconfig version 2.8.0 (compiled against version 2.8.0)

I updated to 2.8 (using these instructions:
http://www.maketecheasier.com/upgrade-to-gimp-2-8-in-ubuntu), but the problem
exists there as well.

This bug is unproduceable for me on Saucy with GIMP 2.8.6.
