I've built gimp 2.2 on my system and since added a second head. I find that if I create a large image and display it on my secondary head (1600x1200) I cannot draw past 1024 pixels horizontally. If I try, the cursor snaps back to the left, leaving a horizontal line if I use a painting tool.

on the primary head (1024x768, to the left of the 1600x1200 head) I can paint as normal, since the screen is only 1024 pixels wide.

This is clearly a bug, even in the non-xinerama case since the highest pixel I should be allowed to reach in that case would be 1023, without scrolling, surely?

Well, it is probably a bug, but certainly not in GIMP but rather in your X server.

It could also be a configuration problem with the pointing device. This can be very miss-configured and still seem to be functioning correctly most of the time.

I use Xinerama and my displays have different resolutions like yours. Display 0 is 1600 x 1200 and display 1 is 1024 X 768. When I initially installed this on my machine most of the time the pointing device (Wacom tablet) seemed to work with the default settings but in some cases it would not behave correctly. This was mostly in The GIMP when I was selecting areas to work on in an image. After messing around with the configuration for the tablet in Sax2 the bad behavior went away. Since this was some time ago I do not remember exactly what I changed. Sorry I can't give you more details about what I did. You might also consider updating your xserver software as I noticed that my tablet works better with newer versions.

Could you elaborate please? Im using my mouse for pointing, and the mouse cursor is actually in the rightr place at all times - its the

tool

that jumps back to 0 on the image if I exceed the 1024 pixel horizontally. (surely thats wrong anyhow and should be the 1023rd

pixel,

since the leftmost one is the 0th...)
