But the deal with the lower-left/upper-right handles being movers and the other two being stretchers has been a feature of gimp for a long time. I checked on the version 1.0.4 on this ancient machine I use at my real workplace, and it is the same there, and was until 2.2. Why would that suddenly be changed? Very disconcerting. I also completely fail to see any reason why areas outside the image should be selectable by a crop tool. If I lay a paper photograph on a table and take an xacto knife to it, do I reasonably expect to cut out part of the table along with what I cut out of the photograph? It is nonsensical. Can someone point me to a hint on how to get the newest CVS version? I don't have lots of time, but I guess if I have further comments I ought to be looking at the newest bleeding edge. Thanks for your help, I'll check out the checkboxes tonight.
