GNOME Bugzilla – Bug 120426
status bar updates are broken when moving a layer/selection
Last modified: 2004-12-22 21:47:04 UTC
When you drag a layer or a selection on the canvas, the status bar updates to show the position change. However before releasing the mousebutton, if you stop, the status bar resets to default. It should happen _after_ you release the button.
Regression, in v1.2 it worked correctly, other tools in 1.3 do it fine (rectangle select, ie).
Seems to be caused by Adam's live-move hack. It calls gimp_display_flush() from gimp_edit_selection_tool_motion(). This function then calls gimp_display_shell_flush() which in turns pushes a new title on the statusbar (using an idle function).
