[Gimp-developer] cairo 1.12.10-1 not working with GIMP 2.8 or 2.9

[phani <listmail phanisvara com>]

after cairo got upgraded to 1.12.10-1 on my (archlinux) system, i found  
that zooming images to any size larger than their original/automatic  
display size broke them up into unconnected, rectangular tiles. this  
happened with the stable version (2.8.2) as well as 2.9 (GIT master).

for a while i couldn't figure out what went wrong, until one user on the  
archlinux users list suggested downgrading cairo; 1.12.10-1 -> 1.12.8-2  
solved the problem.

i thought you might want to know...
