[Gimp-user] blurry images after scaling down

I'm running into the same problem with both scale and rotate. What's really
strange is that I was working on a drawing using GIMP 2.8 until very recently.
When I was using 2.8 the amount of crispness that I lost when using the scale
and rotate functions was within acceptable limits, for example I could rotate a
particular line 4, 5 or maybe 6 times before the amount of blur became really
noticeable. Yesterday I upgraded to GIMP 2.10 and the problem is MUCH more
pronounced - even one rotation or just scaling down a small amount, say 10%,
causes everything to become really, really fuzzy. I've attached an image to
illustrate.

Did you ever find a solution?
