[Gimp-user] rect-select: suppress 'expand from center' key or gesture shortcut

2006-11-04 Thread Jeff Kowalczyk
Using linux gimp-2.3.12, Gentoo Linux ~x86. I have noticed in recent gimp
versions an odd behavior when doing rectangular selections, which I do
(and copy, paste) almost constantly when using Gimp.

I can't reproduce it right now, but somewhere in the mix of
fence-selection gestures (in all origin-size directions), select all/none
and copy-paste keystrokes, the unwanted 'expand from center' selection
behavior was turning on, frequently. I almost never use this option, and
have to go over to click the checkbox to turn it off when this glitch
happens.

Is there a configuration option to disable gimp from ever turning on
'expand from center' by any automatic or shortcut method, except if the
dialog checkbox is clicked?

Thanks.

There's no such configuration option as the behaviour you outline is of
course not intentional. You should expect such misbehaviour in a
development snapshot. If you need to use GIMP for your work, you should
stick with a stable version.
