Hello, I was asked to bring this issue to the ML instead of discussing it on bugzilla so here we go. Original post: http://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=549925 Simple facts from math and Gimp: 0 is empty set A is just a set what is A u 0 ? in Gimp it is 0 what is A \ 0 ? in Gimp it is 0 Such behaviour is even counterintuitive -- if I have selection and I remove one pixel from it I will get previous selection without that pixel. If I don't select anything, selection should be unchanged -- yet, Gimp removes entire selection When I polishing images I am tired over time and Gimp makes me even more tired -- I from time to time just click a mouse (accidentally), or when selecting (adding) one pixel my mouse was moved (one pixel -- irony isn't it) on LMB release, in effect I selected 0 pixel instead of 1, and then I have to undo last operation because I lost my selection. The current behaviour makes perfect sense for setting the selection, but not to adding/substracting. It does not help, quite contrary -- I have to focus more than I should because of the artificial limit of Gimp. When selecting 100x100 pixels you can't spot it, but when selecting one pixel Gimp policy is like "no mistake allowed". And note that I am not handicapped. Kind regards, PS. I believe this mail was not delivered to ML (I checked in the archive for being sure) so I am sending it again. _______________________________________________ Gimp-developer mailing list Gimp-developer@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx https://lists.XCF.Berkeley.EDU/mailman/listinfo/gimp-developer
