The text tool is being massively updated by @wolthera at the moment.  
This is described here: [https://krita-artists.org/t/text-tool-thread](https://krita-artists.org/t/text-tool-thread)

The latest post is this one: [Text Tool Thread - #130 by wolthera](https://krita-artists.org/t/text-tool-thread/57973/130)

You may want to wait a while to figure out what’s happening with it.
