Well yes someone could look into this. Now I believe that's a Windows-only problem, right? So we come back to our problem of lack of Windows developers. Also there is not technically a bug here, so that makes it less urgent compared to other bigger bugs. Don't make me wrong, there is obviously a problem. But that only happens because some other programs are apparently messing with system events. And they reckon also that that's a bug on their side, as showed Kaspersky's answer. So on our side, that's more of a "bypassing other program's bug" issue. Well it would still be good if someone did it. :-) And we are aware of it and don't intend on putting all the blame on others. But I just wanted to relativize the issue and why the chances of it being improved in a fast way by any of the GIMP developers are slim. But we welcome developers wanting to help faster on this, come on, we don't bite! :-) Also I asked somewhere but didn't get any answer: does anyone who have the problem also have other GTK+ programs? And if so, do you also have the problem on the other GTK+ programs? This information is important as it could help us to target more efficiently if the issue comes from GIMP or GTK+ code.
