I see. Just as well, sensible shortcuts for experts are one of the best things about GIMP, Blender, Inkscape, etc. Can you indicate what the modifier key combination is, so that I may avoid its accidental activation, and deactivate it with the same modifier keys instead of a mouseclick in the checkbox. I seem to hit it by accident from time to time. Thanks. Is the current behavior as described in this post? http://www.mail-archive.com/gimp-developer@lists.xcf.berkeley.edu/msg11620.html > 1) If you press the Shift key, while button1 is down, the tool goes into > "make square" mode, and stays there indefinitely.
