Comment 65 for bug 863154

My bad! Post #63 describes data loss in GIMP ver. 2.7.4 with thin lines. This is due to using a different Brush than previously. The standard GIMP Brush does not produce thin lines but complete data loss while GIMP Brushes #1 and #2 give the thin lines before and after dropouts.

Just loaded the Linux Mint 11 Gnome Live CD and tried drawing in Gimp 2.6.11 without tablet drivers installed for my Genius Mousepad 8x6 and without NVIDIA drivers installed. It worked absolutely perfect! No streaks to the edge of the screen at all. No dropouts in the lines whatsoever. Full pressure sensitivity was observed. Scribbled as fast as I could with no problems. But then again Linux Mint 11 is based on UBUNTU 11.04 and everything works fine there. The Linux Mint 12 release candidate will be available around November 11th, based on UBUNTU 11.10. But they are using Gnome 3.2 with Mint Gnome Shell Extentions (MGSE) and MATE to replace Gnome 2.32 instead of Unity and Gnome Classic. This presents and interesting opportunity to see if Unity has screwed up things in UBUNTU since Linux Mint 12 RC is a permutation of Ubuntu 11.10.

I will pursue the Linux Mint 12 RC to test against the bug here in Ubuntu and report back.
