An error occurred - ofn-text-along-path

[rich2005]

Edit: sorry I got emoticons and emoji's mixed up. Happens when you are social-nothing enabled.

I can not replicate the error messages. I can both copy paste into the plugin, from a text layer - on canvas or using the text editor.
or 
Enter directly as this,  using kubuntu 18.04 / Gimp 2.10.22 (appimage)

   

I wonder if it is a Windows thing ?
