Description Sebastian Pipping 2015-09-07 15:24:13 UTC 
app/tests/test-suite.log says:


FAIL: test-ui
=============

[..]
/gimp-ui/alt_click_is_layer_to_selection: **
ERROR:test-ui.c:376:alt_click_is_layer_to_selection: assertion failed: (gimp_channel_bounds (selection, NULL, NULL, NULL, NULL ))
FAIL test-ui (exit status: 134)


Could it be my environment or is that a bug in GIMP?

Our build server succeeds without any error, but of course uses an X server
without display for the test runs. Does it succeed if you do not touch your
mouse or anything while "make check" is running?

With my mouse unplugged, the test succeeds, yes.
Comment 3 Michael Natterer 2015-09-13 12:00:04 UTC 
Yeah, these tests that simulate clicks and stuff can't be made to work
reliably on an X server that is used interactively. Install xvfb-run
and the tests will be done on a headless server.
Comment 4 Sebastian Pipping 2015-09-14 21:54:41 UTC 
Thanks for pointing me to xvfb-run.  It's not part of upstream xorg-server (but a downstream addition in Debian) so I didn't have it present before (but do have now).
