Title:
Selected area vanishes on change of tool choice
Status in “gimp” package in Ubuntu:
Incomplete
Bug description:
Rectangle or Ellipse select tool in "replace the current selection"
mode. Outline of selected image area consistently vanishes upon
choosing another tool, e.g., Bucket fill, Pencil, Paintbrush, etc.
Area, absent outline, proves to remain selected as revealed by
paintbrush strokes. Outline is revealed by use of transform tools,
e.g., Rotate, Shear Perspective, etc. Transformations will preview,
but cancel on attempt to commit. Area does not function as selected
using bucket fill whole selection, nor does bucket fill whole
selection work upon "select > all" from image menu.
Update to kernel or libraries within past week highly suspect. Erased
and reinstalled entire system, before any further configuration,
tested gimp as described above, performed normally. Then ran Update
Manager, tested again, encountered problem.
Simultaneously arriving bugs reported separately as:
* Processing becomes wedged during image rescale.
* Segmentation fault on closing layers/channels/path/undo dock
