Gradient interface jumping
Last modified: 2008-01-15 12:47:10 UTC
In Windows 2000, spanish version, the gradient dialog jumps continuously when the mouse moves over the preview panel. It's impossible to create or edit a gradient manually. I think that the solution is to give both panels (preview colors and information) a static or stable size. Thanks in advance. Other information:

Could you explain what you mean by "jumps continuously"? Does the dialog window change its position on the screen? Does it change its size? Or is there a problem with the contents of the window?
I'm unable to reproduce this with 2.2.3 on a Windows XP system with LANG=es... Could be a GTK+ problem, which version do you use?
Setting to NEEDINFO. We need a better description of the problem. So far I can only guess what the bug reporter is trying to tell us.
My GTK is 2.4.14 The "jumping" is about the two panels: the preview panel (colors and peaks) and the information panel (where is displayed data about the mouse position in the above panel). Is a problem with the content of the window.
It seems clear enough to me what the reporter is saying: that the appearance of the dialog alternates rapidly between the two states shown in the two attachments, as the mouse moves over the gradient display. It may be necessary for the reporter to provide more information to make this solvable, but at the moment there are no questions here that have not been answered, so I am removing NEEDINFO.
My guess is that the problem is either in Pango/fontconfig or in the font that you are using -- the labels are being assigned zero height when they don't contain any text. Could you tell us your font and your locale, and, if you didn't use the standard Windows GIMP installer, how your GIMP was built?
Searching your config request, I found the solution: the problem is solved selecting the "SMALL" theme in preferences dialog. I don't know why with the "DEFAULT" theme is not working well with "labels". My installation is downloaded from the page http://gimp-win.sourceforge.net/ Thanks and sorry for my english.
This is most likely just a duplicate of bug #157570.
