I don't want to add fuel to the fire, I just wanted to point out that Sven is not alone in his opinion. Yes you're right, if you zoom out far enough, so that the image is smaller than your viewing window, this behavior no longer applies. However, I frequently find myself zooming out briefly to see how it works in context, just to zoom back in again a split-second later (very rarely zooming far enough to have the image become smaller than the window). If I do zoom out to see the whole image, I'm usually done with that section anyway, and at that point it's actually a good behavior (call it a compromise if you wish, for me it just speeds up the workflow). Google maps is one of those that zoom in and out on the cursor, imagine it being some other way (and yes, there are some maps-services doing it differently, primary reason for me not using them even if they sometimes have better source material). >> http://gui.gimp.org/ Of course we are open to improves these >> specifications further.

OK! :) Just my two cents...
