Text randomly gets selected at the font edges?
#3
Lightbulb 
Thanks for the Reply.   This is one file with Cockpit legends for many aircraft in DCS, IL2, MSFS, etc...  Lot's of layers, but it works fine.  Loads into gimp in 6 seconds.

Split & Erase were not even in the Layer Mode.  But I noticed that the Layer Mode was set to Legacy.  And the Mode was Normal(l).  Could that cause this?


Hey, it's in Legacy mode now with Normal(l), and I just noticed that this happens when I press the caps Lock key.  Each time I press it the selection changes by 1-2 pixels.

This text was 'BRT', and I typed sss.  Then I backspaced and pressed cap lock(and it started selecting the text), and type SSS.  Then backspaced to remove then SSS, this is what I ended up with.

   

EDIT:
This was strange, but I think that I found the problem.

In Keyboard Shortcuts, I found a command 'Add to Selection' that had a key called 'VoidSymbol' assigned to it.  IDK what that is, but it didn't sound good, so I changed it to Disabled.  Did the same tests, and now cap locks does not select any text anymore.  Time will tell, but it seemed immediately fixed.
