Public bug reported:
Binary package hint: gimp
When using the selection tool in GIMP to add a selection to an existing
one I have to possibilities: (1) Either to select the appropriate modus
in the selection tool window or (2) to keep the shift key pressed while
using the tool with the mouse. Unfortunately the later option release
also an additional behavior: The selection box is "drawn" in a square
and not a freely chosen rectangle. This is other than expected. The
problem is even more problematic when starting an additional selection
from the area of an existing selection. This means the user points the
cursor in a already selected area, presses the mouse button and pulls
the cursor to another area which should become additionally selected as
well. In this case option 1 does not work because it would move the
existing selection area instead of adding a new one. Therefore only
option 2 is possible but than the user has to "draw" a square selection
which she might not intended to. A solution would be to allocate the
shift key not with selecting a square. Hope I described it
understandable but please feel free to come back to me for questions.
