Alpha to selection bug on Mac OS? - taran - 12-27-2020
Hi.
I'm on Gimp 2.10.22 on MacOS Big Sur (latest). No matter what I try, "Alpha to selection" does not work.
I'm doing the following:
1. create new workspace with white bg
2. I use a text tool to add a text to canvas: "TEST"
3. I right click on a later and select "Alpha to Selection"
I expect for actual text letters to be selected, but that does not happen, in fact nothing happens.
I tried reinstalling from zero, does not help.
Am I doing something wrong, or is this a bug on Mac OS?
Help please.

Plenty problems with macOS: see: https://www.gimp.org/news/2020/12/25/gimp-2-10-22-released-macos/
including one for the selection not showing https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/gimp/-/issues/5952
Are you sure there is no selection ? There might be one, just not showing.

Ok looks like I rather use it on Windows so long...
