GNOME Bugzilla – Bug 350897
Selection doesn't select full transparent parts
Last modified: 2007-05-02 18:53:54 UTC
Please describe the problem: When you select a partly transparent part of an image the full transparent parts are removed from the selection. This is mostly annoying while working. Please remove it. Steps to reproduce: 1. create transparent image 2. draw someting 3. select a part where you have transparent and not transtarent 4. create a new image (you see already the wrong size of the newly created image) 5. paste Actual results: smaller image than i wanted to have Expected results: Does this happen every time? Other information:
It has always worked that way but it has always annoyed me. And a little query on #gimp showed that others agree that this behaviour is more annoying than useful. I suggest that we get rid of it.
Created attachment 70719 [details] [review] patch to remove the annoying autocrop
Note that if this patch is applied there would be no more calls to tile_manager_crop() in the gimp code. So it may be possible to remove the files app/base/tile-manager-crop.[ch] if we want to get rid of unused code.
See also bug #165168.

OK, changed in CVS (HEAD branch). I don't think it hurts to keep the function tile_manager_crop around. It might become useful again. 2006-08-14 Sven Neumann <sven@gimp.org> * app/core/gimp-edit.c (gimp_edit_make_buffer): do not autocrop the buffer contents, always keep the selection size (bug #350897).
