GNOME Bugzilla – Bug 167196
Strange behaviour of 'aspect ratio' in crop tool.
Last modified: 2008-01-15 12:47:47 UTC
Version details: gtk 2.4.9 Distribution/Version: gentoo, gcc 2.95.3 1: Select crop tool and on an image create a cropping selection which is nearly square (aspect ratio of ~1) 2: 'Keep aspect ratio' is NOT set. 3: In the popup 'Crop & Resize' window, use the arrows on the 'Aspect Ratio' spinbox to start playing with the aspect ratio value. 4: You'll find that all of a sudden it will stop wanting to go 'down' (decrementing the value), no matter how many times you click on the arrow. 5: The only way to get it to go past this value is to hold the arrow down, at which point the selection flies off the bottom of the canvas to some insane value. 6: The gimp will then 'lock' for a good minute or two, not repainting its gui. Most of the time it will return to sanity in a few minutes but just as I was testing it now twice I got it to crash, saying: (script-fu:4964): LibGimpBase-WARNING **: script-fu: wire_read(): error
This is almost certainly bug #164827, which was fixed the day after 2.2.3 was released (and will be fixed in the next release). *** This bug has been marked as a duplicate of 164827 ***
Ah. My fault for restricting my search to bugs with 'aspect' in the title.
Searching for dups in Gnome Bugzilla is so much more difficult than it ought to be that I never blame people for missing things. Don't worry about it.
