Description Mjelme 2006-02-27 20:48:40 UTC 
Please describe the problem:
I use Gimp for Windows, the latest version. There seem to be ghosts in it.
Sometimes it happens that something that looks like a transparent icon (although
it is too fast to be seen properly) moves across Gimp windows. Without me
touching anything. Looks like some item drag-n-dropped to wrong place returns
home, but I didn't drag anything.

Steps to reproduce:
1. Just work with the Gimp and watch carefuly.
2. It usually happens when you stop working with the Gimp for a while.


Actual results:
A ghost appears. Sometimes.

Expected results:
I wouldn't expect any ghosts in my computer.

Does this happen every time?
No. It is a new Moon tonite. But it happened earlier too.

I think this is a duplicate of bug #317992.

Can you watch the movie attached to bug #326122 and confirm that this is what you are seeing? I will now mark this one as duplicate, if what you're seeing differs from the movie please reopen this bug.

Thanks,
        Simon

It is really similar. I will add additional comments to the older report.

No, I don't think this is what the bug reporter is talking about.  You know how, when you drag-n-drop something onto an invalid target, you see the dnd symbol float back to its origin?  Well, sometimes I have seen that happen for no apparent reason (with IE?  Not sure.), and I think the bug reporter is describing the same thing.  I haven't seen it with GIMP, though, so I think it's a Windows issue rather than a GIMP issue.
