Checking the latest 3.30 tarball from

I was wondering what you meant by 3.30. You meant 3.22.30, last release of 3.22.

Oh, drat, of course it should be 3.22.30 - the download folder link I
gave is correct, but I accidentally left the ".22" out when referring
to the actual version of GTK3 that I downloaded and patched - sorry!

Also I just checked, your commit is available in a release: 3.23.0 which is an unstable release.

We are actually waiting a bit to bump the dependency of GTK+ a bit, but we are planning to. I also wait for a fix I made (also available in 3.23.0) and Mitch told me he also has a commit there.
So this bump will happen sooner rather than later, no problem. :-)

Yeah!

So I downloaded the latest GTK3 tarball, applied the fix (involves
adding a couple of extra lines of code to gdk/x11/gdkwindow-x11.c),
and compiled/installed it in my GIMP-2.99 prefix. This fix does indeed
get rid of the "black flash" problem.

My patched version of 3.22.30 did get rid of the "black window"
problem, but also seems to have introduced an issue where it was no
longer possible to grab the center left-right panel dividing line when
using a toolbox in multi-window mode. Leastways going back to the
Gentoo-installed 3.22.30 did get rid of the problem of not being able
to grab and move the center dividing line. Bleh.

Yeah well, I saw a lot of similar drag'n drop issues on the master branch. But that is another problem: the master branch is not for production and has a lot lot of bugs, until we fix them. It's just a fact and that's why we don't advise anyone to use GIMP master for actual work. :-)

You may also use the unstable tarballs from 3.23 so that you don't have to patch yourself. :-)
https://download.gnome.org/sources/gtk+/3.23/

I'll give that a try -thanks! for the link.

Best,
Elle

Thanks anyway for this informative email!
