Perhaps this would help a little: I have an Ubuntu 9.10 running - and the error concerning the selection in the xsane scan preview is NOT present! Scanner is an Canon N676U. I upgraded since 8.10 -> 9.04 -> 9.10. (64bit version, still the old ext3 fs under the system.)
On other hardware (eeebox, asus / old dell desktop, dell / revo3600, acer / notebook latitude C640, dell) i fresh installed Linux Mint 8. And the error IS present. (Scanner is Canon LIDE 30, a very compatible one, too. btw: 32bit version). Perhaps this would help anyone to solve this problem, before 10.04 is out ;)! Greetings from north-bavaria!
