[Gimp-developer] Cage-Tool performance

[Anke Lange <gimp-werkstatt gmx de>]

Hi

First of all it is a great tool! And I love it. but I found some strange 
behaviour, so before I start a new bugreport, I wanted to ask you, if 
this is a bug or just something that's got to do with my system (Linux 
Xubuntu)

First: when I made a cage and want to adjust the knots, I can't. I have 
to create a new cage. But when I create the cage new and close it, it 
cuts my picture into bits. The only way to avoid this, yet, is to 
restart Gimp and load the motiv new.
Is there another way around this?

Second: I tried out, whether I get a difference in making a cage closer 
to the motif or leaving a wider gap between motif and cage. Using the 
adjustment of filling the background with color.

Normally, the background becomes transparent, when I use the option, but 
when I create a cage on the edge of the motif, the background becomes 
filled with a part-transperent background.

I made some pictures of this:

Thanks in advance.
