Hi,
I've made a list of all bugs on milestone 2.0 (there were 26 of these
at the time of this writing) and added some comments. I'd like you to
review this list with me and take ownership of bugs if you think you
can fix them.
It would also help to have the bugs better prioritized in Bugzilla.
Blockers should be marked as such. Bugs not marked as blockers will be
moved to the 2.0.1 milestone if they don't get fixed before sunday.
Some of the bugs listed can IMO be moved to 2.0.1 or even 2.2
immidiately. I've added comments if I think that's the case. If you
disagree with any of these comments, please object now.
Do we have a volunteer with some free time and bugzilla permissions
who wants to help me with the bug maintainance?
130985 Tools
Text tool broken with respect to Undo
I consider this a blocker but I think I can fix it this week.
There are probably some optimizations that should be done on
the undo stack but these can wait till after 2.0.
133719 User Interface
crashes on paste
This doesn't look like a crash but rather like an endless
resizing loop. This should be fixable by always allocating the
space for the alpha channel in the channels list. Since this
problem only shows up with a rather uncommon, very condensed
docks setup, I don't consider this a blocker. But it might be
an easy fix.
136636 Tools
Selection mode modifier affects selection at mouse release
Looks like a GTK+/GDK problem to me. It doesn't crash GIMP but
it makes some actions with selections impossible on Windows.
Should not be considered a blocker but it needs to be
addressed soon.
136219 Tools
crash with shapeburst gradients (adaptive supersampling / ma
This one has a PATCH attached that fixes it but Pedro would
prefer a better fix. Will be fixed before 2.0, one way or the
other.
131965 General
Deletion of layer with brightness-contract active
This is data loss but on the undo stack only. This is critical
but it shouldn't block the release. We don't seem to have much
clue what is going wrong here.
120021 General
GIMP Crashes when undoing editing of a blured text layer
This should get fixed when text undo is redone, see #130985.
Better to keep it a separate bug report to make sure this
particular use case is being tested. This is a blocker.
136623 General
text layer paint problems
Blocker, since it's a crash. Seems to be caused by some code I
added recently. If I don't get this fixed, I will revert said
change.
136645 General
Text and Texture
Could be the same bug as above (#136623) or it is similar one.
Reverting the change mentioned above should fix it as well.
93806 Script-Fu
Script-Fu args parsing needs to be made sane
This can IMO be moved to 2.0.1 immidiately.
124176 General
assertion `gimage->group_count > 0' failed when performing undo
Pobably hard to fix since there isn't even a descrption on how
to reproduce. We shouldn't block the release with this.
120490 Tools
Scale tool produces wrong output (misses parts of image)
Looks like some rounding bug. Data loss but not a crasher so
I don't think it should be seen as a blocker.
115774 General
Tablet pointer becames core pointer
Noone knows what's causing this one and Simon found that it
might be fixed with latest versions of all libraries involved.
Tablet support is important but shouldn't block 2.0.
76228 Tools
brush scaling algorithm fails for large brushes
Doesn't seem to annoy anyone badly enough to fix it, so it can
as well be bumped to 2.2. Would probably be a local change
that can be easily backmerged to the 2.0 branch.
128594 Tools
Rotating layer more wide than 16000 pixels causes problem on
Doesn't look like a blocker to me.
118356 Tools Switching font units should maintain same text height
I would better fix this. Shouldn't be too hard if some
uglyness is allowed.
136489 Script-Fu
gimp-edit-copy fails on transparent area
This is strictly speaking an API change but it seems we better
do it since the current API is just plain broken,
128833 User Interface
Tool dialogs block image (crop tool)
Smells like another user preference. For anyone comfortable
with GimpConfig, this is an easy change to GimpToolDialog,
GimpGuiConfig and a line or two in gui/preferences_dialog.c.
123888 Plugins
PSD images gets wrong "modulo"
Can IMO be moved to 2.0.1 at once.
112859 User Interface
transform tools' preview should take linked-group in conside
Not critical but it would be nice to change it now so that the
2.0 UI stays consistent. Otherwise bump to 2.2 ?
65534 Plugins
targa (TGA) importer alpha support broken
Bump to 2.0.1.
97734 Tools
Move tool switches the active layer
Unless someone has a patch for this hidden somewhere, it
should be bumped to 2.2.
109561 General
Toggling layer visibility resets tool parameters
Not sure how this could be fixed. Shouldn't be a blocker but
it is certainly an annoying side-effect.
91384 General
unaligned access when displaying an image
Needs help from OSF/1 users. Bump to 2.0.1.
132698 Plugins
Discrepancy in Script-Fu constants vs. DB Browser
We need to come to a decision here. Need to look at it again.
121871 Plugins
Saving large PSD's make the psd plugin crash.
Not a blocker, bump to 2.0.1.
12253 General
gui problem while more tasks (e.g. crop & filter)
Doesn't look like this could be addressed in time.
Bump to 2.2.
So, let's eliminate this list together...
