We are all here in our free time, we are all here to try to make GIMP better for others and for us.

I just tried to point to Mukund that this had nothing to do with broken EXIF, giving several arguments for that. To be precise. BTW, it is interesting to notice that you cut the paragraph that was right before the one you quoted, where I wrote: : Please excuse me, Mukund, but I will be very surprised : if this has something to do with broken EXIF data. Do you also think that an argument that begins with "Please excuse me..." is aggressive? Probably not, but for some reason you cut that sentence and took the next out of context. And still, it is not aggressive. My apologies to Mukund if he felt that. > > to ignored bug reports in bugzilla (VERY bad). > > Please point me to any ignored bug reports.

My bug report was sent to bugzilla.redhat when Fedora 4 was out. bugzilla.redhat is dead now. But I sent this email, with subject "still the same bug" on April 30 to this list (Gimp-developer Digest, Vol 56, Issue 1, to be precise): : However, about a year or two ago, I reported a bug in Bugzilla: : the mouse buttons in GIMP main image window do nothing when I have : attached a my Wacom tablet. ONLY in GIMP. This happened with Fedora : 4,5,6 (fresh installs), with GIMP stable and devel versions. It is : the only program that I have this problem, and the bug is still alive. And just a quick search in http://bugzilla.gnome.org/ in this precise minute returned this: http://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=406440 (2007-02-10) http://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=449590 (2007-06-20) So, 3 bugzilla reports of the same bug. 4 months and not a single answer. And still stated as "unconfirmed"! And still we cannot use the mouse in GIMP. So, yes, I state, publicly, again: this bug has been ignored for months (in fact, for years, since Fedora 4, and we are now in Fedora 7). No matter if you let me 'get away' or not. BTW, the thread of April 30 mentioned above was because a bug report I made in this list about a shift in the despeckle plugin was unanswered! I sent a second report (also included in the same Digest above): : Pals, : : I reported this bug in this list some time ago, and got no : answer (I think), and the 2.3.16 version still has the same bug: : The despeckle plugin shifts the image one pixel to the right, : and one to the bottom. Consequently, it is essentially useless. : If you draw in the middle of a white background a black cross : like this: : : x : xxx : x : : and run the despeckle plugin with radius 1, you get this asymmetric : output: : : x : xxx : xx : : Thanks, : : Luis. I hope you don't think the 'tone' was aggressive in this mail also... However, and I even received this answer as a gift: : I suspect it got ignored since one pixel : offset errors are pretty much to be expected. ...an answer that surprised me and several others... I should point out that the author of the claim said after this that he was misunderstood, though.
