Guest nigelr Posted November 1, 2002 Report Share Posted November 1, 2002 Hi all, Has anybody else experienced problems when trying to change the color of individual pixels when creating or editing a graphic? When I try to change the color of individual pixels using the pencil ( with the smallest *point*) the pixel may or may not actually change; sometimes, actually quite often, the pixels are changed in a seemingly random order, substituting the surrounding pixels instead of the one that I clicked on (if I drag the pencil, then blocks of pixels are randomly changed). This also happens when using the eraser tool. It is not an actual problem with The Gimp because if I minimise, then restore the graphic's window then the actual changes made are seen rather than the *apparent* changes as seen when working on the graphic. It would seem then that the problem is a rendering one rather than a bug in The Gimp itself. I have the exact same problem on my laptop (also with Mandrake 9.0) - so it's not a problem with the video card - but never experienced it before using Mandrake 8.2 on either computer.

Guest bradenm Posted November 1, 2002 Report Share Posted November 1, 2002 I have this too; It's really annoying. I think it is a bug in the GIMP version that shipped with 9.0, but it could be a rendering problem. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest nigelr Posted November 1, 2002 Report Share Posted November 1, 2002 I have just registered it as a bug with www.bugzilla.gnome.org . If you want to track it the bug number is 97433. I hope that someone will fix it soon. nigelr. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest kegie Posted November 1, 2002 Report Share Posted November 1, 2002 I am having the same problem, both in GIMP 1.2.3 and 1.3.8. I am suspecting it is something in the mandrake distro that causes it, but I have no idea what. =( Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DOlson Posted November 2, 2002 Report Share Posted November 2, 2002 This happens here too. I just zoom out and back in again, but it's really annoying. If there ever is a fix, someone please PM me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ab2ms Posted January 6, 2003 Report Share Posted January 6, 2003 Maybe I missed something, but has this issue been solved? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest nigelr Posted January 6, 2003 Report Share Posted January 6, 2003 Was that a regular rpm or was it a Mandrake specific one? Where did you download it from and were there any *issues* with it? Cheers, Nigel. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
