flickering colors and tools bug
#3
(07-19-2021, 07:11 AM)Ofnuts Wrote: AFAIK, most occurrences of such problems have been found to come from:
  • Hardware:
    • Plain defective, such as worn out contacts that "bounce" and send multiple strokes/clicks or stuck keys
    • Doing strange things, like for instance that Logitech mouse that appears to the PC as a mouse+keyboard and actually sends keyboard keystrokes
  • Software that intercepts the flow of events:
    • Session recorders
    • Security software
Gimp uses mouse/keyboard more intensively than other software so is the first to demonstrate trouble. Usually it's Gimp that tells me that my mouse batteries are dying.

To debug all this, a first thing to do is to spot a repeatable misbehavior, figure out what mouse/keyboard event is supposed to trigger this in Gimp, and then wonder how that event is produced.

thank you very much <3<3 I'm gonna do my research around it
