I know Gimp isn't like others - that's why I use it exclusively. Only as a side note, I thought industry standards weren't a type of intellectual property (or otherwise). For instance you can't copyright or trademark the direction of a gradient.
At any rate, thank you for your time. I'll look into a bug report - just not sure what to say as there's no discernible way the change could of occurred. It changed for you, me and many others cross-platform on existing installs - and it wasn't a push. It may be a 'bug' of sorts.. but not one anyone can fix or explain. Thanks again.
