Font size?

Using gimp 2.3.13:
When I select the tool Font (big letter A) and then click on a layer I get to a dialog that allows me to enter text. When I select dialogs>font I get to the dialog that allows me to choose a typeface. But there is another dialog I remember that allows me to select the size of the type and the color as well as the typeface. How do I get to that dialog? I have been right clicking all over in various windows but it doesnt seem to appear.

Sorry for my senior moment but now I am stymied.

Look again at the dialog where you are given the opportunity to select the font. It's the same dialog you get when you select the font tool from the tool box, BEFORE you click on the "Aa".

Spend a lot of time there :^)

It is tool options on the dialog menu for the text tool. Hidden in plain sight. I use to be able to get this with a right click on the tool.
