Comment 51 for bug 365943

nh2,

No problems! :)

Yes, I think the bug is the same. I had not noticed the connection
with the usage of two fingers. If you are using any brush (or eraser,
etc.) in Gimp, you are holding down the left button and using another
finger to paint with the brush. Then, bang it flies across the screen
leaving a long streak across the picture. Luckily we have cntrl-Z, but
it gets old pretty fast.

Thanks,
Partha
