Package: gimp
Version: 2.2.12-1
Severity: normal
Gimp crashes when using wacom pad and drawing and you accidentally
'draw' over the scroll bar.
What normally would happen with just using the mouse is that if your
image is a window and it is zoomed into the point were scrollbar is
shoved all the way to the left and you 'draw' over the right side the
image would just sort of 'shoot' over to the other side. However if your
using a extended input device like a wacom pad it will crash.
Steps to reproduce:
- Obtain, install, and correctly configure the drivers for Wacom tablet
device.
- Start up da gimp.
- From the file toolbar menu select 'preferences'. Click on extended
input devices. Then click the button labeled 'Configure Extended Input
Devices'.
- Enable all 3 devices.
- Exit out of all the dialogs and menus.
- Open up a new document of good size.
- With the new window now grab the lower right hand corner of the window
and shrink the window size slightly so that the scroll bar grab-thingy
is to left.
- with the pen draw a line going rapidly from the middle if the window
to the lower right just so the line would seem to cross over far right
of the lower scroll bar.
- Gimp should crash instantly at this point.
It is using gnome with metacity window manager,btw.
It's very reliably unreliable for me. Happens every single time.
To work around you just have to be careful not to do that. ;) Or
disable the extra features for the extended input device so it acts just
like another mouse.
Also you can upgrade to the version currently available in Debian
experimental. It doesn't seem to have this problem.
