Re: [Gimp-user] How to stop a filter from running

["Rick Strong" <rnstrong primus ca>]

Win 7, SP1. GIMP 2.8.16. Same result in single- or multi-window; Perspective 
or Drop Shadow: Blinking Wilber icon comes up first down at the bottom of my 
screen, then the dialogue opens up after clicking on Blinking Wilber.

Not to worry. Now I know how it works on my system, I can use it 
productively. {8>)

Thanks,
Rick

They do here. Is this under Linux? Which window manager / desktop
environment? The GIMp that came with the distribution? Which version?
Which distribution? Is this Ubuntu with Unity?

Most often when people forget to mention their operating system it's
either Windows or Mac :) but GIMP is developed and tested primarily on
Linux systems.

Also, you could try "single window mode" (from GIMp's Windows menu) and
see if that helps. It may also depend on the specific filter you're
running.
