Suppose I have a pure black (#000000) layer and a pure white (#FFFFFF) layer.
They are one on top of the other, both with normal blending. The one above is 50% opacity.
I'd expect that the resulting color would be a midpoint gray (#7F7F7F). And I'm pretty sure that's what I used to get on GIMP until recently, and it's still what I get on other softwares.
Instead, I'm getting #BCBCBC - a far brighter color.
This is not just about layer blending either - any brush with some kind of transparency or anything like that - the result of mixing colors always come up brighter than I'd expect.
I tried both "Perceptual Gamma" and "Linear Light" modes, no change.
Video demonstrating (I compare with Paint.Net on it, but the result there is the same on any other software aside from GIMP - from Photoshop to html rendering in web browsers):
