In case you ever come back.
You might still have the wrong tool. There is a dedicated Move tool. The only thing to note is how it works. It moves the layer containing the first solid pixel under the cursor. A text layer contains lots of transparency, so either 1) be careful where you position the cursor or 2) enable the move active later toggle in the Move tool Option. Same as many other transform tools, there are various modes - layers - selections - paths.
Top marks for ingenuity. But linux Gimp comes with its own snapshot tool. File -> Create -> Screenshot This using a Gimp 2.8 Gimp 2.10 is similar.
