Description Tom P 2006-06-18 02:00:20 UTC
Please describe the problem:
When grabbing a screen (File/Acquire/Screenshot) the selection
happens immediately (though the capture takes place after the
specified delay). This differs from the 2.2 implementation which
delays *selection*. The 2.2 implementation seems preferable as
the selection delay allows one to click around (via desktop pager) 
to select windows in other workspaces for acquisition.

Steps to reproduce:
1. Select File/Acquire/Screenshot
2. Set 'Select a Region to Grab' (though the problem exists for all options)
3. Set delay to 10 seconds


Actual results:
Cursor *immediately* changes to cross-hairs precluding
use of 'Workspace Pager' to select another workspace


Expected results:
Nothing happens for 10 seconds, then the cursor changes
for selection (like Version 2.2)

Does this happen every time?
Yes

Other information:
I love GIMP.

I don't think this change was intentional. Fixed in CVS:

2006-06-18  Michael Natterer  <mitch@gimp.org>

	* plug-ins/common/screenshot.c: apply the delay before selecting,
	not before grabbing, so the user has time to rearrange things.
	Fixes bug #345214.

Actually, the change was done intentionally because it seems more important to be able to do things like opening combo-boxes after selecting the window. But let's keep the 2.2 behaviour for now and see if anyone but me complains.
