That behaviour is there and works, it's the seperate corners which are movable in both horizontal and vertical direction at the same time that pose a problem. For the times when no aspect is selected these corners are a must to allow for a fast resizing. It's those corners which are a problem when the aspect is fixed though. > > That is how the "select square" functionality works in 2.2. It is easy > and intuitive. Is there any reason to change it? The new rectangle selection (see my rant - of which almost all things are now being tackled) does enhance the functionality in this department by quite a bit but there are some things that would benefit from having this set fuctionality. It's less about breaking the UI generally but if there are constraints - even if I enabled them myself - such a visual feedback that I can't reach other positions could be well worth having. -- regards Karl Günter _______________________________________________ Gimp-developer mailing list Gimp-developer@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx https://lists.XCF.Berkeley.EDU/mailman/listinfo/gimp-developer
