Bug Description
Problem:
When typing text directly into the "Text and Font"
dialog (Shift+Ctrl+T, Text tab), pressing the Ctrl+Z
key or Edit menu > Undo, removes the text, with no
possiblity of recovery. The Redo action (Shift+Ctrl+Z)
does not recover the text. Even if Redo did recover
the text, it would be easy to lose the text if more
text were typed after the undo.
Workaround:
Enter text into a separate text editing application,
then copy and paste the text in. This avoids
accidental loss of text.
Proposed Solutions:
Disable Undo while the "Text and Font" dialog (Text tab
) text entry dialog, has keyboard focus. Or, if Undo
is pressed, alert the user of the loss of data with a
Yes/No dialog.

Confirmed on OpenSuSE 10.
But: you can just enter the text on canvas (also multiline),
with full Undo/Redo functionality.
