Hi all, I have encountered this same issue with GIMP 2.8 as well as the associated Inkscape interface problem (https://bugs.launchpad.net/inkscape/+bug/1131428) on my new Windows 8.1 work laptop.
After some investigation I have discovered that the interfering software in my case is the following AutoHotKey script: http://www.donationcoder.com/Software/Skrommel/DimScreen/DimScreen.ahk Happily I do not make much use of this script on this laptop so have simply stopped using it as a workaround. However I have used this script for years (and still continue to) on two older Vista laptops without it causing this interference. So I guess there is more to this / additional Windows dependency. I hope that helps the developers to narrow down the cause. Let me know if you would like any more details / tests. All the best, Ix -- Ishatix (via www.gimpusers.com/forums) _______________________________________________ gimp-user-list mailing list List address: gimp-user-list@gnome.org List membership: https://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/gimp-user-list List archives: https://mail.gnome.org/archives/gimp-user-list
