Thanks, Tommy. I’m the person who wrote that.

That pertains to https://launchpad.net/bugs/1759625 which is a separate bug.

I hope that helps explain the reasoning.

Thanks,
Erich

Cosmic Release Notes


'Among those applications upgraded in this release is GIMP 2.10, which saw its 
release shortly before the release of Ubuntu Studio 18.04. Due to a library 
conflict between GIMP 2.10 and MyPaint, we had to make the hard decision to 
drop MyPaint from the default installation of Ubuntu Studio beginning in 18.10, 
citing other tools, such as Krita, as filling a similar role in graphical art 
production. As such, if both are installed and you wish to upgrade to Ubuntu 
Studio 18.10, you must uninstall GIMP or MyPaint for the upgrade to be 
successful.'

I appreciate your tenacity, but this seems like stuff that belongs in a bug

Thanks,

During a test with just a single layer, without copy and paste, just using a 
few tools, it did _not_ crash. I don't know if its stable, it's to time 
consuming to continue testing. It at least didn't crash during a not so hard 
test.

The grid doesn't work correctly, it requires to close and open GIMP again to 
get new grid settings. This is what I experienced when using it on Arch Linux, 
too.

With single window mode disabled, it's needed to select "always on to" by the 
dock windows each time GIMP is opened. This might be related to the DE. IIRC on 
Arch Linux with openbox I don't need to do it, the GIMP dock windows 
automatically stay on top.
