Brush resize via mouse wheel is fail on Microsoft OS

Hey y'all,

I'm thinking about filing a bug report on this, as I don't find it on the tracker. Does anyone know if it's already a known issue?

I use a small set of VBR brushes, with the GIMP configured to resize them in response to Alt-Scroll, where scrolling the mouse wheel makes the brush larger or smaller; and I configure Ctrl-Alt-Scroll to adjust brush hardness up and down. This functionality is a huge part of my workflow, especially when editing photographs. I rarely use any other brushes.

Recent GIMP versions in the Debian related repos have all done this as expected, but I recently set up the latest stable GIMP for Windows on a Windows 10 workstation, and these commands are a no-go there: A notification in the status bar indicates the VBR brushes are being resized when I do the thing, but the brush size on canvas does not actually change. Keyboard + mouse wheel also fails to change VBR brush hardness.

The things that don't work are described here:

https://docs.gimp.org/en/gimp-using-variable-size-brush.html

http://www.gimpusers.com/forums/gimp-user/17876-changing-the-brush-sizes

I will note down the details - OS and GIMP versions etc. - next time I am at the office where the computer in question lives, and file a bug report. Unless somebody already has by then.

:o/

You want the tools-value-2-increase-*/decrease-* action mapped to the wheel+modifier combo.

Changing the size of the brush itself is not going to change the size the tool uses.
