Adding text to paint layer vs vector layer.

SUMMARY
Minor inconsistency: when adding text to a vector layer, the text object will automatically get "activated" and the text highlighted. When adding text on a non-vector layer, a new vector layer is added and the text object added but not "activated". 

STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. Create new document (with a paint/background layer)
2. Select the Text Tool and click to create new text object, automatically generating a vector layer with placeholder text.
3. Click and drag once more to create a new text object. A new text object is created as expected, this time automatically highlighting the text and enabling editing.

I've attached a video demonstrating the bug.
