No, I did it at 50% and mentioned that.

Right - but only those pixels - and no, no magenta channel, they get
their hue remapped. You could think of 

I use the tool a lot.

Try it with the "master" colour selected and as you move the Hue slider
you'll see it works just like Colours->Colourise, colouring the entire
image to the hue you select.

With just Magenta and and overlap, it's like doing select by colour in
Hue mode with a broad range, without feathering the selectoin, and then
running colours->colorise on that selection.

Whether it's working as intended is another question, but I get the same
sort of results regardless of which colour range I choose to remap.

Best,

Liam

Sorry.  I keep forgetting the bugtracker isn't GIMP specific (not that it 
affects the bug number much)

It's GTK bug #644032


Why do you label this as a GTK bug? You've reported it against the GIMP 
product in GNOME Bugzilla:

You missed only one (very important) detail:  The tool's Overlap setting.

IF we left the overlap setting at zero, then we would get exactly what you 
described -- only those pixels within absolutely 30 degrees of Magenta would be 
affected, everything else remains the same.

BUT with an Overlap setting of 50%, this "blurs" the threshold between Magenta 
and Red (and likewise between Magenta and Blue).  All pixels with hues falling 
between a 15° ~ 45° deviation from Magenta (a 30° range, or 50% of the 60° 
between Magenta and its neighbors) will receive a variable percentage (100% ~ 
0%, respectively) of the Magenta channel's adjustment.

Test it yourself:  Paint a simple red-to-yellow gradient, then go to the 
Hue-Saturation tool and (with overlap = 0) drain all saturation out of Red.  
Next, slowly increase the Overlap slider and watch how the pixel-sharp 
threshold between the two channels becomes a smooth fade.  It's very useful 
behavior when you're using this tool on photographs or other images with smooth 
color transitions around the hue thresholds; it just happens to make one epic 
screwup in this particular usecase.

I don't know where you get your "results should be like this"... you are
not "increasing the magenta channel by 30%", you are mapping all pixels
whose colour value in RGB space is within 30 degrees of magenta to a
completely different hue, to a different location in HSV space, so it's
no wonder you get weird results.

The effect you show happens with all the colour "channels".

I think you are wanting to increase saturation.

Or am I missing something?
