I noticed this bug a couple of weeks ago or so, not just at 0.99.2. So 
when tracking down the bug don't limit yourself to just the new changes. 
I mentioned the bug on the Gimp irc channel, but not on this mailing list.

I _think_ that the bug happens with Gzilla and the gtk-xmhtml xtest 
program, but not with Gimp itself. This may provide clues as to what's 
going on.

P.S. While on the subject of bugs mentioned on the irc mailing list, 
gtk_entry has an interesting one: enter some text, select the middle 
third with click-and-drag, then press ctrl-A, ctrl-K. The selection 
highlight remains even though the text is gone. This is a pretty minor 
bug, but it would still be nice to fix.
