Hello

The Fixed: Size option does not fix the current size, it enforces the 
size specified in the Fixed: Size entry below.

Because of this, it does not make sense to uncheck the Fixed: Size 
checkbox, change Width and Height, and check it again. If you want a 
specific Width or Height, you should specify that in the Fixed: Size entry.

There is currently a discussion going on what would be good default 
values for this entry (the RC1 always have 100x100), so you might wanna 
hook on.

[Gimp-developer] RC-1 rectangular selection tool: why is the numeric enter field disabled if fixed size is selected?

2007-08-23 Thread Alexander Rabtchevich
The RC-1 rectangular selection tool has numeric fields disabled if  
"fixed" checkbox is checked.  So one need to uncheck  it in order to 
enter new value and then check it again.
Why is it made so? Is it possible to have ability to type new value 
numerically and see the result dynamically  without need to uncheck - 
check the checkbox. This does not prevent fixing mouse behavior for 
changing actual fixed aspects.
