[Gimp-developer] GIMP 2.9 -- normal growing pains or something you should know about?

[phani <listmail phanisvara com>]

i've started compiling GIMP from git again and find that the master  
version acts pretty strange at present:


* scaling an image > 100% results in it breaking up in unconnected tiles  
that don't appear to make sense;

* selecting all, and then defining a border from that selection dissects  
the image into four rectangles;


this started happening recently only; a while ago 'goat invasion' didn't  
show that behavior. what i'm wondering is if this maybe something  
particular to my environment (archlinux + [testing]), or a normal &  
expected stage during GIMP's development? if the former, you might want to  
know what causes it and i'd be happy to help figuring out the reasons.
