Won't be for awhile, but I'll give it a shot. It only seems to happen when I follow a certain pattern, and by then, I've spent 10-20 minutes in the step before, and don't remember exactly the steps I've taken, since it's mostly touch-up work for models. Lots of Cloning-Healing-Layer Masking in different orders. Makes it very difficult to file a bug. Mostly wanted to see if anyone had had a similar situation crop up. I know it's a bug, or unintended consequence of how I am trying to draw on a layer that Gimp thinks exists but isn't shown, but it might take awhile to nail down. _______________________________________________ Gimp-developer mailing list Gimp-developer@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx https://lists.XCF.Berkeley.EDU/mailman/listinfo/gimp-developer
