[attachment=11543 Wrote:Ofnuts pid='38549' dateline='1711325829']So, what happens when you use Tools > Transform Scale instead of the shortcut? Of even if you select the tool in the toolbox? Do you get the pointer icon for the scale tool? Or it is still the one for the previous tool?
Oh, and you have to click on the canvas to make the tool corner handles appear... Just starting the tool is not enough.
I get the same results using Tools>Transform Scale as the shortcut. I do get the pointer icon for the scale tool.
I'm not sure the problem is with the Scale tool because I also get a different result when using the "Fit Canvas to Layers". I'll download some screenshots to explain.
Example 1: I loaded a picture, opened the Tool>Transform Tool and reduced the scale.(1b)
After pushing the scale button, the picture is instead cropped and the scale increased to
fit the canvas of the original picture. (1c). I then used the Image>Fit Canvas to Layers command
and a bigger version of the original picture is produced.
Thank you for your help, time and effort. I've been using gimp for over a decade and never had any problems with it. I have deleted and reinstalled gimp several times over the past two days with no change.
