I've never seen anything like what happened in your video before. Currently I'm not using 2.9 (and not on Windows), but maybe someone else can test it.
Ok, thank you for having a look :-)

If you are using the builds from gimp.org, you could try with a build from partha.com (and vice-versa).
Otherwise, worth reporting a bug on bugzilla.gnome.org.
Ok, thank you, will try the options you have suggested. Its strange because I used to have a working version. I then changed my screen from a 1080p to 4k. Had to change some settings to make the icons visible but now I get strangeness. Have tried installing 2.8.22 then 2.9 and an earlier version but keep getting the same strange happenings. Thought it might be a setting within the program that's being transferred over each time but I'm stumped if it is...
Will post on here if I find a solution :-)
