DataInspector no longer works for me after the recent Makie update:

```julia
heatmap(rand(100,100))
DataInspector()

```

gives

```julia

```

I’m using Julia Version 1.7.3, GLMakie v0.6.6 on Windows 10.

Ah that is because of the new argument order for `text`, should be easy enough to fix hopefully.

It looks like this has been fixed in GLMakie 0.6.8 (thanks!!) but I now have a problem with the `textsize` keyword. Eg

```julia
using GLMakie
heatmap(rand(100,100))
DataInspector(textsize=100)

```

the keyword has no effect and the text is tiny on my screen.

Oh, I accidentally replaced a semicolon with a comma. As a workaround you can use `inspector = DataInspect(); inspector.plot.textsize[] = 100` until that’s fixed.

Great, that works! Thanks for all your hard work, Makie works very well for my purposes and is getting better all the time.
