Thank you Alexia. As I understand it this is a workaround for the bug which would enable Gimp to work in Oneiric and has a very low chance of causing regressions in Gimp. All Ubuntu would need to do is add this patch to their Gimp package to disable the history buffer and release it as an update.
I quickly slapped your link into a patch form so that Launchpad janitor would be aware a patch has been submitted. It is untested and Ubuntu packagers should follow your link to actually obtain the patch. ** Patch added: "app- Disable-history-buffer-via-use-of-gimprc-option.patch" https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/gimp/+bug/863154/+attachment/2619574/+files/app-%20Disable-history-buffer-via-use-of-gimprc-option.patch -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Desktop Packages, which is subscribed to gimp in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/863154 Title: Wacom Bamboo One tablet random coordinate malfunctions Status in The GNU Image Manipulation Program (GIMP): Unknown Status in “gimp” package in Ubuntu: Confirmed Bug description: The tablet in overall seems to work correctly, with all pressure- features working. But quite frequently, while drawing, GIMP seems to wrongly read the coordinates of the stylus (as zeros, or negative values?), resulting in frequent, random 'line-peaks' in the direction of the left and upper image edges. With this bug it is hard to even use the tablet, since these problems are very frequent (see the exemplary image attached). The tablet works with no problems in MyPaint. The bug is reproducible in both Unity-2d and Unity-3d. I also notice the CPU usage increasing dramatically during drawing with any brush. Steps to reproduce: 1. Connect the Wacom Bamboo One tablet 2. Open GIMP 3. Start drawing longer strokes with any brush Expected result: The brush stroke as intended by moving the stylus Actual result: The brush stroke as intended with frequent, random line-strokes towards image edges System: Ubuntu 11.10 oneiric (development branch) GIMP version: 2.6.11 (package version: 2.6.11-2ubuntu3) To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/gimp/+bug/863154/+subscriptions -- Mailing list: https://launchpad.net/~desktop-packages Post to : [email protected] Unsubscribe : https://launchpad.net/~desktop-packages More help : https://help.launchpad.net/ListHelp
