Package: gimp Version: 2.10.6-3 Severity: important Tags: upstream i use gimp regularly and consistently, several times a day: always have, for nearly ten years, for one major task: trimming screenshots.
it's as simple as: make selection, hit ctrl-c, hit ctrl-shift-v, hit ctrl-e and save. done. except, what the ****, this latest version is an absolute ****** nuisance. hit ctrl-c, hit ctrl-shift-v, entire image is copied. wtf?? let's try ctrl-shift-c, ctrl-shift-v, entire image is copied. oink? what the hell is this "selection tool" dialog?? what the hell are all these rubbish options, selecting modes?? where's the "reset to default previous behaviour" button? let's try pressing random buttons... ctrl-c, ctrl-shift-v, entire image is copied. FINALLY, after several MINUTES, what used to take only a few seconds is FINALLY achieved. exit the program... start a new image... and the whole f*****g stupid game has to be restarted playing "hunt the options to save an area of an image"! after ten loyal years of using the gimp, i'm going to have to find an alternative program. message to upstream developers: *stop changing the behaviour out from under the users*! -- System Information: Debian Release: 8.1 APT prefers oldoldstable APT policy: (500, 'oldoldstable'), (500, 'testing'), (500, 'stable'), (500, 'oldstable') Architecture: amd64 (x86_64) Foreign Architectures: i386 Kernel: Linux 4.13.0-1-amd64 (SMP w/8 CPU cores) Locale: LANG=en_GB.UTF-8, LC_CTYPE=en_GB.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/dash Versions of packages gimp depends on: ii gimp-data 2.10.6-3 ii libaa1 1.4p5-42 ii libbabl-0.1-0 1:0.1.58-dmo1 ii libbz2-1.0 1.0.6-8.1 ii libc6 2.27-6 ii libcairo2 1.16.0-1 ii libfontconfig1 2.12.6-0.1 ii libfreetype6 2.8.1-0.1 ii libgcc1 1:8.2.0-7 ii libgdk-pixbuf2.0-0 2.36.0-1 ii libgegl-0.4-0 1:0.4.12-dmo1 ii libgexiv2-2 0.10.8-1 ii libgimp2.0 2.10.6-3 ii libglib2.0-0 2.56.1-2 ii libgs9 9.05~dfsg-8+b1 ii libgtk2.0-0 2.24.32-3 ii libgudev-1.0-0 175-7.2 ii libharfbuzz0b 1.6.2-1 ii libheif1 1.3.2-1+b1 ii libilmbase23 2.2.1-2 ii libjpeg62-turbo 1:1.5.1-2 ii liblcms2-2 2.9-3 ii liblzma5 5.2.2-1.2 ii libmng1 1.0.10+dfsg-3.1 ii libmypaint-1.3-0 1:1.3.0-dmo6 ii libopenexr23 2.2.1-4 ii libopenjp2-7 2.3.0-1 ii libpango-1.0-0 1.40.12-1 ii libpangocairo-1.0-0 1.40.12-1 ii libpangoft2-1.0-0 1.40.12-1 ii libpng16-16 1.6.34-1 ii libpoppler-glib8 0.69.0-2 ii librsvg2-2 2.40.2-1 ii libstdc++6 8.2.0-7 ii libtiff5 4.0.9-6 ii libwebp6 0.5.1-2 ii libwebpdemux2 0.5.2-1 ii libwebpmux3 0.6.1-2 ii libwmf0.2-7 0.2.8.4-10.3 ii libx11-6 2:1.6.4-3 ii libxcursor1 1:1.1.15-1 ii libxext6 2:1.3.3-1+b2 ii libxfixes3 1:5.0.3-1 ii libxmu6 2:1.1.2-1 ii libxpm4 1:3.5.12-1 ii xdg-utils 1.1.0~rc1+git20111210-7 ii zlib1g 1:1.2.11.dfsg-1 Versions of packages gimp recommends: ii ghostscript 9.05~dfsg-8+b1 Versions of packages gimp suggests: pn gimp-data-extras <none> pn gimp-help-en | gimp-help <none> pn gimp-python <none> pn gvfs-backends <none> ii libasound2 1.1.3-5 -- no debconf information
