GNOME Bugzilla – Bug 683553
Spinscale scrollvalues in Brushsize are much too small
Last modified: 2017-10-17 12:52:47 UTC
Not a technical bug, only a usability shortcomming. As discussed in bug #683152 (and requested by Sven Claussner as a separate filed bug with workaround :-) In Gimp 2.8 the scrollvalues (steps) in the brushsize slider are worth 0.01 Pixel - much too small for proper working. (You have to click a really long time up or down to make a visiable change!) Idea for future development: An easy solution in the userinterface could be a standardized stepvalue of +/- 1 for the brushsize spinscale. As already realized in the opacity slider! Workaround for now: click in the sizevalue, page up / page down keys scolls +/- 1 Pixel

Bumped the step/page increments of the radius spinscale in the brush editor too, to match the ones in the tool options.
