Description Mitch Curtis 2014-02-14 10:08:23 UTC 
Steps to reproduce:

- Open GIMP
- Create a new image
- Try to rename the layer to something containing a capital letter using the shift key

GNU Image Manipulation Program version 2.6.12

using GEGL version 0.0.22 (compiled against version 0.0.22)
using GLib version 2.32.3 (compiled against version 2.32.1)
using GTK+ version 2.24.10 (compiled against version 2.24.10)
using Pango version 1.30.0 (compiled against version 1.30.0)
using Fontconfig version 2.8.0 (compiled against version 2.8.0)

I updated to 2.8 (using these instructions: http://www.maketecheasier.com/upgrade-to-gimp-2-8-in-ubuntu), but the problem exists there as well.

GNU Image Manipulation Program version 2.8.10
git-describe: GIMP_2_8_8-55-g9bb7eb0

using GEGL version 0.2.1 (compiled against version 0.2.1)
using GLib version 2.32.3 (compiled against version 2.32.4)
using GdkPixbuf version 2.26.1 (compiled against version 2.26.1)
using GTK+ version 2.24.10 (compiled against version 2.24.10)
using Pango version 1.30.0 (compiled against version 1.30.0)
using Fontconfig version 2.8.0 (compiled against version 2.8.0)
using Cairo version 1.10.2 (compiled against version 1.10.2)

I'm on Ubuntu 12.04 64-bit.
Comment 1 Michael Natterer 2014-02-14 10:47:35 UTC 
GIMP 2.6 is long obsolete and unsupported, please try 2.8.10 and reopen
if it still happens.
Comment 2 Michael Schumacher 2014-02-14 10:59:41 UTC 
This was tried apparently, according to the comment. One could argue that the platform itself is obsolete, though.

It should be reported in the Ubuntu bug tracker, I guess.
Comment 3 Mitch Curtis 2014-02-14 11:15:51 UTC 
Sorry, how is the platform obsolete?
Comment 4 Michael Schumacher 2014-02-14 12:08:27 UTC 
Ubuntu 12.04 has been released in 2012, with library versions of this time.. I know that it is a long term support release, but that's not really relevant to us - it matter a lot more to Ubuntu, of course.

Any of these libraries could have an effect there; for example the current GTK+ 2.24.x is 2.24.22.

The best approach for bugs in Ubuntu (LTS) would IMO be to do this in https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/gimp . It could be examined by the maintainers there, and reported upstream if it isn't found to be Ubuntu-specific.
Comment 5 Michael Natterer 2014-02-14 13:20:17 UTC 
Sorry I missed the part with 2.8 in your original report. But I really can't
see how GIMP would be causing this. Much more likely is an Ubuntu GTK+
patch or input method issue.
Comment 6 Mitch Curtis 2014-02-14 14:37:48 UTC 
Ah, ok, cheers. Yep, I already created one: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/gimp/+bug/1280226
Comment 7 Michael Natterer 2014-02-16 20:57:44 UTC 
Thanks.
