 Also, a small suggestion to the development team.  If you have a value
 such as 11.20 in a field and I place the cursor between the 2 and the 0
 and then try to enter another digit like 8 for a value of 11.281, nothing
 happens because the display is fixed to two decimal places.  I think it
 would be an improvement in the user interface if we could edit these fields
 without restriction.  If gimp then wants to evaluate the number and round
 and redisplay it as two digits, this would be OK.  But the failure to be
 able to place the cursor and edit these numeric fields is really unexpected
 and very confusing until you figure out what is happening.

Please inform the GTK+ developers about this. GIMP only uses the
GtkSpinButton widget and the logic for limiting the number of digits is
implemented there. You may want to check in bugzilla.gnome.org, product
GTK+, if there's a bug report for this already.

 What are you doing for rotation?  I select the rotation tool from the
 toolbox and as soon as I click in the image the Rotate dialog is displayed.

That is what I do and I can not reproduce your problem then.

Put the cursor farther from the image centre todo the rotation, and you'll
be able to do smaller rotation increments. You can even activate rotation
inside the image, then take it outside (without releasing the button) to
have better control. Think that mouse movements are always integer
pixels... (Same as the slider movement in previous question).

John:

I did discover that the drag rotation amount was proportional to the
distance from the center of rotation.  However, what stumps me is why,
after applying a numeric angle of rotation using the dialog, the rotation
changes (jumps) drastically if you try to further refine it using the
mouse.  It seems logical to me that you should still be able to grab the
image and give it a further small tweak with the mouse.

That's interesting.  It is consistently reproducible here.  I just loaded
another jpeg image, rotated it 20 degrees in the dialog.  Then no mater
where I grab the image and drag a bit, as soon as I release mouse button
B1, the image jumps back to a small positive angle of rotation and then
moves a bit in the direction I was dragging.

This version of gimp was linked against the latest gtk2 2.12.3.

Does anyone else see this behavior?

I couldn't resist having a go. In every case I tried, when I set the
correction to any number of degrees and then clicked inside the grid,
the grid jumped towards zero. However, when I manually rotated the grid,
and then clicked inside the grid stayed where it was. The behaviour was
the same in both Normal and Corrective.

I am using Gimp 2.4.0-rc3 with Ubuntu 7.10.

When I set the rotation to 20 degrees in the dialog, the image
immediately rotates what I presume is 20 degrees.  If I then click in
the image, the 20 degree setting is negated with the mouse taking
control, and it behaves just the way it would had I not set the rotation
angle at all in the dialog box.  I presume these are two mutually
exclusive modes of operation.

I believe that you have explained his observation.  He has not
committed the numerically entered rotation and it is negated when he
attempts to rotate the image with the mouse, and is much more
noticable at larger angles of rotation.

The behaviour here is normal (as expected, I mean). Norman, do note that
if you click in a way that such that the rotate dialog is cancelled
you'll have the behaviour you mention. The rotation (even if you type it
in) is not really executed till Ok'd (the button pressed).

Jeff, manual rotation after a 20 degree rotate acts normal here. You
don't have your ctl pressed, haven't you? That rounds the steps to 15
degrees!

Ah, now I see what you are doing differently. You guys are activating
the tool from the Layer-Transform-Arbitrary Rotation menu. I haven't
done this in years. Indeed, there seems to be a bug in the Rotate tool
when it is being called from the menus. You may want to make sure that
this is reported at bugzilla.gnome.org.
