Dislike new crop tool

Hi this is my first post to this list. The reason that I am emailing is that the new version of Gimp has changed the crop tool and it appears to be missing one of the features that it had before. I liked that the box came up showing the dimensions of your image as it was changing. I needed this to be able to crop perfect squares. Now that the box doesn't come up it is hard to get them exactly right. Is there a way to bring the box back or is there other way of doing what I used to.

Kind Regards,

Adam Wieland.

I just watch the numbers that show in the tool options. Much more convenient than the old dialog that always came up on top of the image, since tool options stay docked beneath the Toolbox.

And the Fixed: Aspect Ratio works great for keeping it square (or 4x3 or whatever other aspect ratio I need). I find fixed aspect ratios SO much easier now with the new crop tool.

You can still see this values, but they are now move into the tooloptions. Just doppelclick on the crop icon.
