When trying to add text to image with Gimp 2.8.14 on Kubuntu 15.04, Gimp hangs if trying to input uppercase M or uppercase A, or other letters (I tried these two at the beginning, other seems to also hang the program). It is invariant to font used. It also hangs when trying to type uppercase character into choose-font field.
gimp --verbose seems to print no relevant information to console
Below output:
