Public bug reported:
Affects: gimp (Ubuntu)
Severity: Normal
Priority: (none set)
Status: Unconfirmed
Description:
When drawing in the Gimp, the cursor often lags behind, and some strokes
are sometimes missing completely. This gets worse as one draws faster,
up till almost unusable if trying to draw "normally".
Trying applications like Inkscape, everything is registered perfectly,
no matter how fast I make lines and calligraphy.
I'm using a Wacom board, and this is not on a slow or even slowish
computer, it's on a 2.4MHz with large memory, quite recent Nvidia card
and accelerated drivers. No other graphics applications, including stuff
like Unreal Tournament has any trouble, so I don't think that's it, and
the tablet works fine in other gfx apps.
I'm not using unreasonable image sizes either, this happens and behaves
mostly the same on a 72dpi 1024x768 image just as well as a 300dpi A3.
Not actually being an artist myself, but I work with a lot of them, and
honestly, I can't show Gimp to any of them in this state. I don't know
if this is a general Gimp issue or if it's only in Ubuntu, or even just
in Dapper, since I don't have other distros to compare with. Any clues
to investigate and fix, and opinions from others would be welcome.
