Thank you for bringing this bug to our attention. However, a paper cut should be a small usability issue, in the default Ubuntu install, that affects many people and is quick and easy to fix. So this bug can't be addressed as part of this project.

- GIMP is no longer part of the default install , therefore not a papercut.
For further information about papercuts criteria, please read https://wiki.ubuntu.com/PaperCut.

Don't worry though, this bug has been marked as "Invalid" only in the papercuts project.

HI Vish, thx for taking a look into it - however this isn't a GIMP specific bug - this affects ALL applications within Ubuntu which use icons in a menu also FF and others !

@Benste , I believe you are referring to Bug #407621 , do note who was the reporter of that bug ;-)
The change to not show icons was a design decision.
However , the menu items indicating certain actions like Flip Horizontal/Rotate clockwise and sort , should display an icon. Hence the GIMP task is open , Kindly read the Bug #407621 and make a list the actions which are confusing due to the missing icons. It *needs* to be fixed in GIMP.

Vish thx for giving me the link - I've heared about this discussion but didn't find the other post.

Anyway here is my GIMP Bug:

For usability reasons the following icons in the menu should be forced to show an icon:

SAVE
PRINT
Copy
Paste
cut
background color fill < IMPORTANT
foreground color fill < IMPORTANT
scale image
ALL Tools - should get the same as in the toolbox !

and some less often used ones :-)

In Gnome Bugzilla Sven Neumann said:

That's a global setting of your desktop. It applies to all GTK+ applications
and you can change this system-wide.

Thanks!

@ Angel Abad : Thanks for sending upstream.

You have been doing a great job of forwarding several bugs upstream.One observation though, when forwarding a bug dont just send the original bug report , it often does *not* contain all the information. [like for this bug]. Try to add a little more information from the comments too. Keep up the good work!
