[I've marked this bug for inclusion in our oneiric bug queue. While
technically this bug has not been re-confirmed against oneiric, I feel
it is worth continued development attention. We will need to ask that
it be re-confirmed once oneiric is further along, perhaps once we get
closer to alpha.]

Frustratingly, it looks like your fix has been removed from 1.3.99.
Unless I'm reading the source code incorrectly, which is possible. I'm
looking at the patch, and looking for evidence of it within the source
code... nothing.

OK, now it's getting absurd. It *still* hasn't been fixed in Maverick.
Fortunately, the same patch works in the Maverick version as it does in
the Lucid one, but come on - this problem has an identified cause, a
known temporary solution (which does correct the problem, it's not just
a workaround)..

To reproduce:
Start Gimp and create a new document.
Move the mouse cursor slowly horizontally and watch the column number change.
The column number skips every 3rd or 4th pixel . i.e.

discontinuities.
