It is of course intentional that you don't need to use a checkbox in the tool options to do something as important as creating a rectangle from center. This has always worked by using a modifier key and it would be a regression if that wouldn't be possible with the rewritten tool. All I am saying is that the tool is not finished yet and that the current behaviour is not perfect. We really don't need to be told that since the tool is obviously not finished yet.

[ ... ] All I am saying is that the tool is not finished yet If it helps, a little while ago in CVS builds I was seeing (and being frustrated by) the same behavior the original poster mentioned: that the rect and ellipse select tools would frequently and mysteriously snap into expand from center mode even when I hadn't pressed any modifier keys, then would stay there. I was sure it must be a bug, or a failed experiment: I have confidence in the folks who are working on improving those tools. And sure enough, it no longer happens in current CVS (and hasn't for the past week or two). It looks like it was just a short-lived bug, now squashed. Rect and ellipse select are working fine now. -- ...Akkana Beginning GIMP: From Novice to Professional: http://gimpbook.com ___ Gimp-user mailing list Gimp-user@lists.XCF.Berkeley.EDU https://lists.XCF.Berkeley.EDU/mailman/listinfo/gimp-user

Sven Neumann wrote: 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? 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. Using linux gimp-2.3.12, Gentoo Linux ~x86. I'm accustomed to and very much willing to live with development version bugs, given the unstable version of the distribution I use ;) Thanks for confirming that it is not intentional behavior, that's all I need to hear. I thought it might be some gesture or keystroke shortcut for advanced users, and thus might have a configuration option. If I can reproduce it, I'll look into filing a bug. ___ Gimp-user mailing list Gimp-user@lists.XCF.Berkeley.EDU https://lists.XCF.Berkeley.EDU/mailman/listinfo/gimp-user
