[Gimp-user] clicking rulers loses freehand selection

[Kevin Brubeck Unhammer <unhammer fsfe org>]

Hi,

I just noticed a serious UI issue. Say I'm zoomed in and am creating a
complex freehand selection. I'm now selecting stuff at the very top of
the canvas, and I happen to miss a bit and touch the 'ruler'. Suddenly,
GIMP switches to the move tool and I've lost the whole selection! Does
anyone know if this behaviour can be turned off? 

(I know I can turn off the rulers, but it's annoying having to turn them
off and on all the time since they are sometimes useful.)
