Okay, question - if you can make tool edits to a text layer (filters, brushstrokes, etc.) and it will retain its status as a text layer (albeit with some modifications, which GIMP will warn you about if you try to edit the text later), why do other operations (like changing layer size) turn it into a normal (non-text) layer?
