The simplest way is to point your browser to http://bugs.gimp.org and follow the steps there. The GIMP uses GNOME Bugzilla to keep track of bugs, enhancement requests etc.

Please check if your bug has been reported before prior to posting a new bug.

If you're looking for a more detailed description please take a look at http://mmmaybe.gimp.org/bugs/howtos/bugzilla.html

Hope this helps.

The GIMP uses a database-backed bug tracking package called Bugzilla. This allows us to keep track of the history of bugs, and know which ones are fixed, when we would like the unfixed ones to be fixed, and so on. We share this with GNOME, and the URL is http://bugzilla.gnome.org

To enter a bug, you will need a bugzilla account. This is a very easy process - when you ask to enter a bug (click on the "New" link), if you're not logged in you will be asked for a log-in and password, or be offered the possibility of signing up.

To enter a bug against the GIMP, click "New", then "GIMP", and in the following (horrible looking) page, select a "Component", enter a summary and a description. The rest of the stuff on this page doesn't need to be filled in, and probably shouldn't be filled in most of the time.

And that's it.

Guidelines for writing good bug reports are available here... http://bugzilla.gnome.org/bug-HOWTO.html

Cheers, Dave.
