“Save As” dialog shown as a blank window for PNG-8 images
Last modified: 2008-10-30 20:14:52 UTC
Please describe the problem: With some images, using the “Save As” dialog more than once results in a blank window. This is a problem that I've had for a while with The GIMP. I usually circumvent it by duplicating the image, then saving the clone rather than the original image. Steps to reproduce: 1. Open an existing PNG-8 image 2. Use the “Save As” dialog to save it with some file name 3. Once it's done, launch the “Save As” dialog once again Actual results: This is the kind of window I get: http://files.covertprestige.info/permanent/bugreport/gimp-save-as-blank.png Expected results: Does this happen every time? It happened every time (following the three steps above) with 3 PNG-8 (paletted) images. I did the same with PNG-32 (RGB) images, and it wouldn't happen. But I can't guarantee you can reproduce it with any PNG-8 image, or indexed image, or that it won't happen with a RGB image. Other information:
