The problem happens both on my iMac and on my MacBook Pro. I have installed on my computers the distribution "GIMP on OS X" by Simone Karin Lehmann; I have alerted about my problem the maintainer of the distribution, because it is probably due to a wrong interaction of GIMP with OS X graphics. Here is what happens: using the pencil tool (or the brush tool), with 2.8.6 I was used to see the outline of the brush shown on the GIMP canvas; that was extremely useful since I was able to check the current size of the brush on my screen, also while increasing/decreasing that size. Now, I cannot see the brush outline anymore. And this happens with the clone/healing tools too; I cannot see where the clone source will be set (with cmd-click), nor where exactly the cloned zone will land on my image (with left-click). Maybe I am not so clear (english is my third language only); but I have done two screen recordings, in the .mov format, the first one with 2.8.6 and the second one with 2.8.10; they are available for download on Google Drive, and the link is: https://drive.google.com/folderview?id=0B1oP_87P_BIOLW13X1hOeTV5Znc&usp=sharing In the first video you may see the brush outline (while I am using the pencil tool and clone tool); in the second one, they are not visible. Please, help; I know that I could downgrade to 2.8.6, but I would like to see a current GIMP correctly working on my computer. -- (@_ | //\ | Maurizio Loreti - Retired physicist, happy grandfather V_/_ | of two grandsons, wanderer and amateur photographer... _______________________________________________ gimp-developer-list mailing list List address: gimp-developer-list@xxxxxxxxx List membership: https://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/gimp-developer-list
