[Gimp-user] GIMP 2.6.1 from Macports, strange window behavior

[Michael Hernandez]

Hey all,

I have this strange issue with the latest GIMP - things from menus and  
some child-windows (not sure if that's the right name for these, but  
there are mini-windows that GIMP pops up to allow you to select modes  
from a drop down, for example)  are shown either off my screen or  
behind a tool window. The problem is that I can't move the window out  
of the way to get to the mini-window underneath, and I can't see  
things sometimes that are off the visible area (sometimes things pop  
up halfway out of the area and I can drag them back in).

I'm not sure if this is related to X11 or if it's a GIMP bug (or maybe  
even a macports port bug, but since it builds and installs fine I  
think the port from macports is the cause).

Is anyone else seeing this strange behavior? Is there something I can  
do to fix it?

I am running GIMP 2.6.1 compiled from Macports on a macbook pro 15"  
with X 2.3.1


Thanks!
