The crawling / marching ants marking a selection boundary do not show. https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/gimp/-/issues/5952
The selection is still there. You can see it if you toggle quick mask.
There is a new MacOS Gimp 2.10.24 release announced: https://twitter.com/GIMP_Official
Chances that it fixes the bug. Not very probable. If it does let us know.
Hey Rich,
- couldn't find login details, had to click signup, didn't receive email confirmation link yet, so you may not see this response
- am using the latest stable version: "2.10.24 (revision 2) - No updates available"
- mine is on Win10
According to DDG search, "bigsur" seems to relates to MacOS only, yes. How comes I have (suddenly! I could bet it worked always) this error as well?
But in my case, Gimp flashes all in pink, marching ants on BACKGROUND visible, but fuzzy select selects nothing, nada. Not even with toggle quick mask - which too seems to do nothing.
I could bet I've been using Gimp for ages, without this error, and didn't install anything recently, I am confused.
Should I go here https://www.gimp.org/downloads/oldstable/
and download the old 2.8.22, or am I "just" doing sth wrong suddenly? LOL
What do you think?
Cheers,
David
