Description Raphaël Quinet 2006-07-30 19:53:32 UTC 
For all selection tools, if a selection mask exists and Alt is
pressed, the meaning of Shift and Ctrl is different: Alt+Ctrl moves
the selected pixels, Alt+Shift moves a copy of the selected pixels.
However, the "Mode" indicators in the tool options are updated as if
the next operation would add to or subtract from the current
selection.  This gives the wrong feedback to the user.

Proposed solution: when Alt is pressed (GDK_MOD1_MASK), make all four
mode indicators insensitive (grayed out).

Ugh.  Instead I changed it so that when Alt is down, the mode shown is the one that that would be shown if neither Shift nor Control is down.

In HEAD:

2006-08-25  Bill Skaggs  <weskaggs@primate.ucdavis.edu>

	* app/tools/gimpselectiontool.c (gimp_selection_tool_modifier_key):
	When Alt is down, don't allow other modifiers to change the
	operation shown in the options.  Fixes bug #349338.

The comitted fix makes modifiers stuck again. Reopening.

Fixed in CVS:

2006-11-11  Michael Natterer  <mitch@gimp.org>

	* app/tools/gimpselectiontool.c
	(gimp_selection_tool_modifier_key): Fix behavior so that when Alt
	is down, it appears as if no other modifier was pressed.
	Fixes bug #349338.
