Title:
  In the Text and Font dialog, Ctrl+Z (Undo) destroys text

Status in Inkscape: A Vector Drawing Tool:
  Fix Released
Status in “inkscape” package in Ubuntu:
  Triaged
Status in “inkscape” package in Debian:
  Confirmed

Bug description:
  Problem:

  When typing text directly into the "Text and Font"
  dialog  (Shift+Ctrl+T, Text tab), pressing the Ctrl+Z
  key or Edit menu > Undo, removes the text, with no
  possiblity of recovery.  The Redo action (Shift+Ctrl+Z)
  does not recover the text.  Even if Redo did recover
  the text, it would be easy to lose the text if more
  text were typed after the undo.

  Workaround:

  Enter text into a separate text editing application,
  then   copy and paste the text in.  This avoids
  accidental loss of text.

  Proposed Solutions:

  Disable Undo while the "Text and Font" dialog (Text tab
  ) text entry dialog, has keyboard focus.  Or, if Undo
  is pressed, alert the user of the loss of data with a
  Yes/No dialog.
