GNOME Bugzilla – Bug 320797
Regression: chip-away.scm looks more like a chainsaw than chips

Run the script with the defaults and then make the background not visible. The script claims "Supposed to look vaguely like roughly carved wood. Chipped away if you will." and in gimp-2.2 it did. gimp-2.3 it looks vaguely like someone roughly used a chainsaw and not the nice sculptures I have seen like this before.
Created attachment 54381 [details] here is an example from gimp-2.3
Created attachment 54382 [details] the same parameters run through gimp-2.2
Well it looks just more ugly than before :) but I guess whether I like the effect doesn't count that much here. It's definitely a regression.
It looks like the layer containing the text is not being trimmed properly (ie. a layer mask is not being applied properly if at all). Also, the drop shadow for the text is also wrong.
The steps of the script appeared to be working properly until it got to the gimp-edit-bucket-fill in line 77. Mitch on #gimp realized the problem may be related to bug 307213 and the use of gimp-layer-set-lock-alpha in the script. The script appears to run properly after commenting out the ...set-lock-alpha call in line 59. This script could be closed as a duplicate of bug 307213 or marked as dependant on that bug.
