Description Lisa Baudier 2007-11-02 09:52:35 UTC
Please describe the problem:
When attempting to create a border on standard jpg image, am able to bring up border dialog box to establish widths & colors & such.  The process does create a transparent border around original image,  but then stops & gives following error message: "Plug-In 'Add Border' left image undo in inconsistant state, closing open undo groups."  If after receiving that error message - can select create border - however no dialog box will appear unless i restart gimp.

Steps to reproduce:
1. Start Gimp, open any jpg file
2. Filters, Decor, Border - can be default or custom settings & click "OK"
3. Will begin process, then create error message after having created transparent area around original image


Actual results:
Will begin process, then create error message after having created transparent area around original image - after that occurs, even tho can select "border" again, entire script fails to load/let u set any parameters until re-start GIMP


Expected results:
lol - ummmm - a border to be created

Does this happen every time?
yes - did not have problem w/ previous version of gimp - just downloaded new release on 10/31

Other information:
Happy to do anything i can to help replicate problem - if would be of help to whomever tries tackling this - i am also available via Yahoo! Instant Messanger daily from about 12pm EST - 4am EST under ID paperstsoapc0.   Also - if there is a plug-in/fix for problem that involves me downloading adding programming - plz include "how to for dummies" on how to install or directions to a site that will walk me thru process ;)

What operating system are you using? Looks like a duplicate of bug #490326 but I would like you to set the "OS" field before this is closed as a duplicate.
Comment 2 Lisa Baudier 2007-11-02 21:48:41 UTC
Specific OS is Windows XP

Did not encounter any problems of this sort w/ previous version of GIMP

Sincerely apologize for duplicate submission, i did attempt to search site for errors first - lol - but think this particular site is set up lil more for those of y'all that are coding/language gurus.
