GIMP 3.0 RC: Text Tool forces font back to Sans-Serif on Windows

[HHH]

Hi  
I'm testing the new GIMP 3.0 on Windows, and I’ve run into a persistent issue with the Text Tool.
The Problem: Every time I select a font and start typing on the canvas, GIMP automatically overrides my selection and reverts the font to "Sans-Serif". This happens regardless of which font I choose initially.
Steps to reproduce:

1. Select the Text Tool.
   
2. Pick any font from the Tool Options (e.g., Segoe UI, Tahoma).
   
3. Click on the canvas to create a text box.
   
4. Start typing — the font immediately jumps back to "Sans-Serif".
   

System Info:

• GIMP Version: 3.0
  
• OS: Windows 11
  
• Input Method: [english]
  

I understand that GIMP 3.0 is a major transition to GTK3, so I wanted to report this to see if it's a known regression or if there is a specific workaround for Windows users.
Has anyone else encountered this in the 3.0 builds?
Best regards,
