I’ve just installed GIMP 3.0.0-RC2 and I’ve noticed an issue when using selection tools such as Rectangle or Crop: I cannot type the Size of the tool on the sidebar, the tool dialog (sorry, I’m not sure what the exact term is).
Normally, I use this to resize the rectangle or crop tools to a specific size. But now when I start typing a number, the whole image just zooms in instead. However, I’ve noticed this also happens when specifying the Position, but not on other things like aspect ratio.
Steps to reproduce:
Launch GIMP.
Open an image.
Select the Rectangle tool.
On the sidebar, focus on the “Size” or “Position” text fields.
Attempt to type a dimension or position with the keyboard.
The zoom value increases, instead.
According to the documentation, this should be the expected behavior, as it has been for previous versions.
Position
These two text fields contain the current horizontal and vertical coordinates of the upper left corner of the selection. You can use these fields to adjust the selection position precisely.
Size
These two text fields contain the current width and height of the selection. You can use these fields to adjust the selection size precisely.
No, I tried multiple combinations of things like this to see if something would “trigger” or “enable” the text field. But I didn’t try something that sounds very similar to the issue pointed out by @brunvonlope. I have to double-click first, then click once more, type something and then lose focus of the input for things to make effect.
I should point out that I’m using Linux and now Windows as in this issue. Should I add a comment on this issue tracker?
I can’t reproduce this on RC3 (and as far as I can remember, this worked OK on RC1 & RC2 too).
What is you distro/release and display server (X11/Wayland) and display manager?
Are you using single-window mode or multi-window mode? (asking because many of my recent bug reports turned out to be dependent on this…).
If using multi, does it change if you work on an image that wasn’t open in the initial window? and does it persist if you do View > New view on that image and close the initial window?
I don’t seem to have an option for a Wayland session, unfortunately, so I can’t test if this may be the culprit.
As for single vs multi window mode, I’ve been using single mode (the default) but just tried enabling multi-window and had the same behavior. However, by going with the View > New View route the problem went away completely, even without closing the initial window.
Thank you, I think this does it for me I wanted to report this in case it’s something that may need fixing in the final release?
