The foreground color is not supposed to change. If it really does, that would be a bug. However I don't seem to able to reproduce this. > 2. The new 'Crop' tool is not as simple as the old.

You should still be able to drag the corners just as in GIMP 1.2. We only added a convenient way to crop the image to the size of the current selection (Image->Crop Image) but that's not really related. Sven
