<br />
Linux tested: Debian, Arch Linux, Manjaro, Ubuntu, Linux Mint<br />
Version: Gimp 3.0.4<br />
Monitor: 4k LG(3820 x 2160)<br />
Gimp window size: 1920 x 1080<br />
<br />
If I click on large image for opening it in Gimp,it will open it of course.<br />
But Gimp window will immediately resize itself to the image size.<br />

			<description><![CDATA[I created a forum identity specifically to complain about a tiny problem with the interface which frustrates the crap out of me.<br />
<br />
If you click a button on the toolbox (to change tools), then move the mouse off the toolbox button without releasing the button, the tool doesn't change.<br />
<br />
So, I'll click, for example, the eyedropper button quickly, but move the cursor off the toolbox before releasing<br />
<br />
Then click the picture and put down a dot of color - because the tool <span style="font-style: italic;">didn't change.</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-weight: bold;">Essentially - the interface ignores attempts to change tools if you don't both click-and-release over the control button.</span><br />
<br />
This nuisance is easily reproduced and with the small size of the toolbox controls, probably introduces a lot of bother to people's operation.<br />
I can understand canceling the selection when you hold the mouse button down to bring up the context menu...<br />
<br />
but even if you click on a control and then smear over other controls before releasing the mouse, the control and intent is definitely on the <span style="font-weight: bold;">Mo</span><span style="font-weight: bold;">use button down operation.</span><br />
This nuisance seems easy to fix. Please deal with it soon in a future version.]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[I have been using the “equalize” function to correct images with poor color matching. <br />
Menu: Colors - Automatic - Equalize<br />
Python: t = layer.equalize(False)<br />
This worked well in Gimp version 2.10.38. In Gimp version 3.0.4, the result is different. Based on the histograms, I suspect that this is due to the processing of the images in the linear color space. Unfortunately, the results of version 3.0.4 are significantly worse (too bright), regardless of the format of the source images (integer, float, linear, non-linear). <br />
How can I get the results of the earlier versions back in version 3.0.4?<br /><!-- start: postbit_attachments_attachment -->

			<description><![CDATA[Hello,<br />
<br />
I don't know, whether such a feature is realizable without certain changes to the Gio, but let me just describe my intent:<br />
<br />
In a plugin, I want to send an "copy" of current image to a service using urllib.request.Request. Currently, I save the png image as usual using Gimp.file_save(), reopen it to read the data as bytes and attach them to a boundarized body. Then I send this body using the content-type 'multipart/form-data; boundary=xxxx' to the web service. I get an answer, evaluate the response and add the retrieved image to a new created layer. This all is working well and stable.<br />
<br />
But I just want to get rid of storing the image into a file and read it again to a byte buffer. Already tried Gio.File.new_for_uri() and point the uri to memory, but my current knowledge for this aspect of the Gio library is literally not existent  <img src="https://www.gimp-forum.net/images/smilies/biggrin.png" alt="Big Grin" title="Big Grin" class="smilie smilie_4" /> <br />
<br />
Maybe there is a more elegant way to implement a in-memory file storage, as the export to PNG format is crucial.<br />
<br />
Does someone has an approach in mind and could give me some pointers to study?<br />
<br />
Thanks]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[I'm using Gimp 3.04 in macOS. I have a color photo, I desaturate and apply one of the edge-detect filters. The edges come out white on dark, I want black edges on a light background, so I invert colors. I still have white edges on a dark background but they have moved a little. It acts like there is more than one layer and I'm only inverting one of them. So I apply flatten image, and then color invert. Now I get the expected result, dark edges on a light background.<br />
<br />
This happens with all the different edge detect filters. It did not happen in Gimp 2.x. Something changed and I want it fixed. Preferably merge those layers, as apparently happened in Gimp 2.x, or at least show the layers in the layers panel.]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[Hi everyone<br />
<br />
I installed the new version 3.0.4 and immediately encountered a problem with perspective transformation. It leaves black areas that should be transparent, leaving the background layer visible.<br />
<br />
Could anyone point me to a solution? This wasn't an issue in the old version, so I hope it's just a matter of changing the settings.<br />
<br />
Thank you for your help.<br />

			<description><![CDATA[In GIMP 3.0.4 I'm finding the tooltips popping up are very annoying.  I searched Preferences and did not see an option to adjust or disable them.  Is there a way to increase the timeout before the tooltip is displayed, or to disable them altogether?<br />

Thanks.<br />
<hr />
Also, I'm using the Default Light Colors theme and Legacy Icon theme.  Can I change the colors of the tooltips to be white text on a dark grey background as was the case in 2.10?]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[Hi.<br />
<br />
<span style="font-weight: bold;">Issue</span><br />
<br />
Gimp initially seems to load normally (no files opened).<br />
<br />
However, the following actions cause Gimp to crash and terminate without any error dialog box other than the Windows generic that just say the program has crashed and will now close.<ul>
<li>Drag an image file from windows explorer into Gimp canvas.<br />
</li>
<li>Invoke the File --&gt; Open dialog box, select an image file to open.<br />
</li></ul>
<br />
<span style="font-weight: bold;">Information about Gimp installation</span><br />
<br />
I don't if spending resources on a "dying OS" is worth the time. But here it goes anyway:<br />
<br />
On my workplace, I use a W10 workstation. I have Gimp 2.10.38 and this version have no issues that I'd noticed.<br />
<br />
Today I installed Gimp 3.0.4. The only specifics in installation is that <ul>
<li>Installation method: only for me<br />
</li>
<li>Installation path: changed "GIMP 3" to "GIMP3"<br />
</li>
<li>Languages: Only Norwegian (bokmål) and Canadian English.<br />

			<description><![CDATA[Hello,<br />
Sorry for my bad English (translated by Google Translate),<br />
I just downloaded version 3.0.4 of Gimp. Previously, I was using version 2.10.38.<br />
I created several scripts that worked fine with version 2.10. Following the changes made in version 3.0, some functions have disappeared (for example, gimp-image-set-active-layer was replaced by gimp-image-set-selected-layers) or their parameters are different (for example, gimp-edit-copy has a new parameter "vector").<br />
Updates are tedious (edit the script - test - edit again... until the script works correctly).<br />
In version 2.10, it was possible to edit the script file (.scm) and have the update taken into account in Gimp via the "refresh scripts" submenu. However, this submenu is missing in version 3.0. You must therefore close Gimp and reopen it each time you make a change.<br />
Do you know if there is a way to either make the "refresh scripts" submenu appear or to take script changes into account without closing Gimp?<br />
Thank you in advance for your answers.]]></description>
