Description Steve Rainwater 2012-09-06 05:15:41 UTC 
When cropping a region from an image using the rectangular select tool in GIMP 2.8, the rectangular selection tool remains behind after the crop and is misaligned slightly with the image from where it should be. The first time it happens this is fairly alarming as it seems something more serious has gone wrong. Subsequently it's just annoying since you can't do further operations on the selected region due to the misalignment. The workaround seems to be to remove the selection and create a new one that covers the correct area.

Seems my "fix" bor bug 678890 is causing this. Will look into it.
Comment 2 Michael Natterer 2012-09-06 07:31:53 UTC 
Also, please upgrade to 2.8.2
Comment 3 Michael Natterer 2012-09-06 22:08:21 UTC 
Fixed in master and gimp-2-8:

    Bug 683462 - cropping with rectangular select tool leaves misaligned...
    
    Reset the tool on image changes again, but not if only the active
    drawable changes, so keep bug #678890 closed:
    
    Introduce new dirty flag GIMP_DIRTY_ACTIVE_DRAWABLE and set it on all
    tools' dirty_mask except for rect select. Check the new flag when
    reseting the active tool because of a drawable change.

Comment 4 Steve Rainwater 2012-09-08 01:00:02 UTC 
Thanks, and done, running 2.8.2 now. The problem is still present but based on the order of your posts, I'm guessing your fix won't show up until 2.8.3 or so. Thanks for the quick patch!
Comment 5 Michael Natterer 2012-09-08 06:46:17 UTC 
Yes the fix will be in the next bugfix release, which will be 2.8.4.
