I've updated GIMP to 3.20 and it turns out text layers with text styling effects go invisible if you move them into a folder group.

It seems someone had already reported this issue about a week ago, so hopefully it will be addressed with a hotfix relatively soon.

Hope so too, but great to see gimp is moving at some pace again

@dronn @GIMP they should probably add a button to the text tool's panel to open text style UI, cause right now you need to go to Filters > Generic > Text styling, which is a bit ridiculous.

It's also a shame you can't have mouse clicks as a part of a hotkey combo. I get that it could sometimes override "standard" behavior, but hate some of that behavior, so that would've been great :)

I will never forgive them killing off shift+click to create a layer mask.

@lastofavari @dronn actually i agree, and thought it had been done, but i don’t see it there. Will investigate a little, thanks for the reminder!
