Any way to change Rectangle Select to the way it looked in 2.6?

So, I'm a casual user transitioning over to Gimp 2.8, and one of my major gripes with it is the fact that the rectangle select tool has a double border.  In 2.6, the rectangle select tool was a single line, and was much more precise.  Here's what I mean:
In 2.6, that purple line was exact - you knew exactly what pixels you were selecting, and the resulting marching ants resided exactly along that purple line.  In 2.8, however, the resulting marching ants wind up somewhere in between those two lines, which makes it a lot harder to select things at the pixel level.  Is there any way to change the way this looks?

Thanks,
Sean
