Where it already is. But it's a bad solution for moving text. You should just be able to click on the text and move it.

> gimp allows an arbitrary bounding box size for text layers

That's why you would probably use the x-height of the text path for one long bounding box and then add a bounding box for each letter also. There is no need for the "on click" bounding box to be the same as the in-editor bounding box. You just need to allot a small area around the text that can be clicked to move it. It's not hard, or at least it shouldn't be.

I don't know what Krita is, but you seem overly invested in this argument if you are having it so frequently that you have to preƫmptively admonish it.

i dont engage in this discussion frequently myself, but have a look at the comments and you will see around half mentioning or comparing it to krita despite the news having nothing to do with it. this has been the norm of discussion regarding gimp, for better or worse.

> this other piece of software does this well so GIMP should also be able to

Reasonable.

> this other piece of software fails here so it's fine for GIMP to fail here

Not reasonable.

Do you get it?
