Public bug reported:
Binary package hint: gimp
I went into Mouse Preferences in the Ubuntu System->Preferences menu,
and under "Locate Pointer", turned on the option for "Show position of
pointer when the Control key is pressed".
When I press and release the ctrl key, the area around the mouse
shimmers with orange circles.
Next, I run Gimp. I open an image. When I'm viewing the image, I
choose the magnifying glass tool to zoom. I can zoom in by clicking the
mouse in the image. Usually, I'd hold ctrl and click the mouse to zoom
out. On holding down ctrl, the "+" symbol by the magnifying glass
cursor changes to a "-" symbol.
This works correctly when I don't have the "show position of pointer"
option set. But when I do have it set, Gimp does not respond to my
pressing the ctrl key.
However, Gimp does respond to my pressing the ctrl key as expected if I
also have the alt or shift keys held down.
** Affects: gimp (Ubuntu)
