[Gimp-user] Can't enter text

2014-08-12 Thread pinky153
Hi there,

This probably has to do with a setting i've changed somehow, but I just can't
figure this out...

When I use the text tool, and click onto a layer to add text, I start typing,
and no text is entered, the program just flips me to another tool depending on
what letter I press on the keyboard.

Any help would be appreciated.

I am using Gimp 2.8.3 on a Mac Mini with OSX 10.9.3
My Mini has a 2.3GHz Intel Core i5
5 GB 1333 MHz DDR3

Thanks,
James

This certainly looks like a window manager problem. I don't believe that
gimp has any control over scroll bar position or style. It looks to me
like a style thing. In gimp, you can turn scroll bars off and on under
Preferences > Image Windows > Appearance > Show Scrollbars, But no other
influence AFAIK.

Just for kicks, I would try changing your windows theme and see what
kind of results you get.

I really cannot remember any difference in the display, but restarting
windows of what-ever version surely would have no bearing even thou
windows users have that *habit* deeply ingrained.  Aiui the window manager
determines how various elements are displayed and I doubt that GIMP has
that finely grained control to actually determine the *location* of the
slider controls but rather the display of and left/right or top/bottom
location, not the actual arrows themselves.

perhaps a windows user can advise, I have no copy of windows since 3.0. 
FOSS!

I thought you were referring to a Gimp function. Did a Windows restart to no
avail. Is the window in 2.8.10 substantially different?

GIMP does not get to choose it's display (or window) manager, you do.  I
use KDE4 on openSUSE-Factory and see nothing resembling your example.  But
I have 2.8.10 so it may have changed.

Thank you for your reply, Patrick. I must admit that I'm not familiar with
Gimp's display/window manager. Looked in Preferences > Display but see nothing
that controls button positions. Is there other information I can provide to
clarify the problem?

[Gimp-user] Scroll buttons

2014-08-12 Thread 127markaz
Strangest thing...I went to scroll a pic to the left and the scroll button
wasn't there. Its positioned has moved next to the right scroll button (pic).
The same is true for the scroll up button. It's moved next to the scroll down
button. How do I move them back to their proper positions? Using 2.6.8.
