That may be it.  I forgot to mention that the images I'm working on are in
indexed mode.

Will do.  I'll come up with a smaller version than the image I'm using now

Absolutely positive.  I just rolled my install back to 1.3.23 and it works
as expected.

I'm afraid I haven't been able to reproduce this in the HEAD. There has 
been one change since 2.0 pre1 in the contiguous region selection, but 
that should only affect indexed mode.

Could you open a bug against this and attach an example image which 
shows this behaviour?

Are you sure that the completely transparent areas are really completely 
transparent?

Cheers,
Dave.

[Gimp-user] Select contiguous regions tool (Z) Problems

2004-01-15 Thread Jeffrey Brent McBeth
I recently updated from 1.3.23 to 2.0pre1, and the behaviour of the region
select tool appears to have changed in a way that is very annoying.

I have a layer with many disjoint shapes surrounded by transparency.  To
move the rectangles, I would select the tool (Z), make sure the threshold
was at 255, and select transparent areas was off.  Then I could click on the
shape (which selected everything up to the transparency) and move it where I
needed it.

Now, it selects the entire layer no matter what.  Is there an alternate way
I can accomplish my desired task?

Jeff
