Sounds like this might be a different bug? The problem that Vladimir is showing in that video is that the mouse cursor isn't changing to the "text field" I-beam shape.

Could you please give a little more description of what you're seeing?

Is the "little popup window" you're talking about the "Edit size" one that normally shows up when you click on the size line in the properties panel?

Thanks,
