Can we add similar delay as in the brushes and patterns dialog into the toolbox popups too? It could even be something like one or two seconds, is it then possible to know if the user wants to drag instead of clicking? Is this at all a good idea? > Note also alt+mouse1 drag on a selection moved the mask itself, so > this feature already exists.

Though you can 'escape' the grab by pressing alt-shift :) though that will not work if you bind something to alt-shift :P > I think we have larger problems than UI ones right now, and I suggest > people start fixing them.

Also, we have had major leakage, though the worst seem to be fixed now. All kinds of weird things start to emerge with that large images, especially with many layers.. And yes, the redraws _do_ bite with large images. Btw, can anyone explain what size should the tile-cache be? I have 256MB of ram, and sometimes I need to work with 3000x3000 images, and I love to use _lots_ of layers.. This can lead to horrible swapping that can kill X if it goes too far. Is the tile-cache a sandbox for gimp so everything larger than that will get swapped to the swapfile? Or how does it work? How to figure out an optimal setting?
