Interesting bug concerning colors

[Stefan Wille <1wille vsys informatik uni-hamburg de>]

Hello,


I have found an interesting bug: The code for calculating the rgb values

seems to have a problem with green, as the green value is sometimes too
high.

Start gimp with it's vanilla gtkrc. Take xv and grab a scnapshot of
gimp's toolbar window.
Then inspect the snapshot's grey background by right-clicking on it
- xv says its is   r = 208, g = 212, b = 208 (should be 208 for all
three).
So gimp's main window is a little bit green :)

The same goes for testgtk. If you use gimp to inspect the snapshot,
there
will be the same result. So it's not a bug in xv's color picker.

I found this problem in several releases of gtk+.

Bye bye
Stefan
