Honestly, it's because I didn't realize I could use up/down arrows in option menus without first popping up the menu. :) That works well for going through modes sequentially. But there are other common issues a tear-off would solve, like when you want to go back and forth comparing two modes that aren't near each other in the menu. > There are very good reasons why tear-off menus are deprecated.

If anyone besides me wishes for a tear-off modes menu, you can get one (Layer->Mode dialog...) at: http://shallowsky.com/software/gimp/mode-dialog.py ...Akkana _______________________________________________ Gimp-developer mailing list Gimp-developer@lists.XCF.Berkeley.EDU https://lists.XCF.Berkeley.EDU/mailman/listinfo/gimp-developer
