Please try latest snapshot.

I have not seen this issue myself, but of course I'm running stock
FXText widget inside Adie editor.

FYI I recommend subclassing, rather than modifying the stock version;
because its hard for me to diagnose whether you may have made changes
which have affected some common functions.
