I have an image with several text layers on top of each other. Because they are rotated, they all have the same 'boundary box'.

I want to edit several of the text layers, but when I click on the text, it selects the wrong layer. Even if I actually click on the letters I want to edit (so not on the text of the wrong layer). Even when I set the wrong layer invisible, GIMP still selects that layer.

How can I force GIMP to choose the right text layer?

I fixed it by moving the layer I wanted to edit up to the top, editing, and then moving it back down.

Make the other layers invisible by clicking on the eye in front of the layer name in the "Layers - Brushes" dialog.
