GNOME Bugzilla – Bug 501095
brush outline is not repainted properly (overlay sticks over the image)
Last modified: 2008-10-30 20:05:53 UTC
Please describe the problem: It's a lot easier to explain if you look at the attached image. Brush outline was enabled and mouse was moved over the work image. In short, when the cursor is moved, the old outline is not erased until some other window overlays the image - the work image is then redrawn cleanly. Steps to reproduce: 1. Enable brush outline 2. Create new image or open existing image 3. Move pointer over the image (without clicking) Actual results: Expected results: Does this happen every time? On computers where it happens, this is a consistent bug. On others, I don't know of a way to make it appear. Other information: This bug appears on a laptop with ATI Mobility IGP320M (U1), using radeon xor driver. This bug does NOT appear on a laptop with ATI X1400, using ATI binary (fglrx) driver.
Did you forget to attach the image you mentioned?
Created attachment 100059 [details] image demonstrating the problem yup, looks like I forgot - the page for entering initial bug info didn't have a control for attaching files.
A few questions, if I may: Could you tell us what distro you are using, and whether you have compiz or any other fancy stuff going? And what window manager you are using? (Just for the system with the problem, please.) Have you tried any other tools to see whether it is only for the paintbrush outline that drawing is broken?
This is a graphics card driver problem, there is a workaround described in bug #421466; put (xor-color (color-rgb 1.0 1.0 1.0)) in your gimprc. *** This bug has been marked as a duplicate of 421466 ***
Fedora 8, no compiz/any fancy stuff, KDE/kdm, problem appears with other tools too That fixed it, thanks!
