Like I said, sometimes I can "walk" the path and find where I can insert or delete as normal. I do this at the same zoom level. It's like the path got corrupted and I have to delete the corrupted part of the path and rebuild it, then everything works fine again.

I discovered a problem within inkscape that is apparently affected by it and everything works as it should when I turn it off. Can you discern anything from this bug report that might affect gimp as well? https://bugs.launchpad.net/inkscape/+bug/418242 I will try disabling my clipman next time and repeat the copy+paste to see what happens. -- View this message in context: http://gimp.1065349.n5.nabble.com/Path-Tool-Problems-tp40365p40413.html Sent from the Users mailing list archive at Nabble.com. _______________________________________________ gimp-user-list mailing list List address: [email protected] List membership: https://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/gimp-user-list
