[Gimp-user] Cant modify text on layer in XCF file using V2.8.16

I was beginning to suspect as much.  

My goal is to be able to edit the text on several layers as I reuse this image
for different promotions.

For now, I have created a new layer and I am trying to line up a new text box
over the existing one.  Once I have the new text placed and formatted I will
delete the old layer.

Can you offer pointers on what not to do in order to keep the text layers
editable?  I would like to not make the same mistakes again.

Thanks very much!
Dennis
