On pc Debian x86-64 with master sources updated today, I could reproduce this. Nitpick: indeed at the steps 8 and 9, I see "Linux Biolinum G" selected by default in the list but at step 10 I can't say the new font (I don't have "Verdana" so used "Rubik") is back since it's always the one on the dialog (I mean above the list).
@Heiko Any opinion on how this should be fixed? Adding it to the list of last used fonts, or filtering the applied font in drop down?
It's a feature. You can _request_ any font name from the OS. Think of different workstations with Windows and Linux where on one a font is known while on the other not. So to enter a font name directly is the same as picking one from the list, with all the consequences such as what comes next.
