If the tabs principle is going to be replaced, then maybe it's useless to discuss much about it even now. But I guess that when Gimp 2.8 will be released and between hands of users (including new users, potentially attracted by the new features and the new single-window mode), you might be harassed by requests about tabs management ;-) and see how people can open several documents. Back to what could be fixed: - open Gimp 2.7.x - open an image - fill to window - make a rectangle selection that includes nearly all the image - open another image - get back to the former one, now you don't see the whole selection rectangle, some part of it is out of sight This is an issue, to me. Minor, of course! Regards, -- wwp
