It is indeed a bug -- in your window manager. This behaviour has been
reported before, and it happens when the window manager steals the
Ctrl+Drag combination; Gimp never sees the Ctrl+Drag, because the
window manager gets to it first.
So you need to reconfigure your window manager.

Your window manager intercepts the Ctrl key then. There's nothing the
application (GIMP) can do. You will have to reconfigure your window
manager if you want to use the Ctrl key for GIMP.

[Gimp-user] Gimp selection tool bug

2007-09-30 Thread vt
GIMP 2.4.0-rc3
Debian 4 unstable

Using selection tools in picture, i can not get "Subtrackt from the current 
sellection" to work just pressing Ctrl key. Though it is marked on toolbox, 
that pressing Ctrl should switch subtrackt mode and highlight marks correct 
entry. Pressing Ctrl turns on Move window mode instead - i can move window 
the picture is in. If i mark subtrackt mode by mouse - it works as it is 
intended to work. I believe it is bug, not a feature;)
