B2: Clicking on image creates small selection

When clicking on an image, a small selection is created. This selection is harmless, but now there's no more simple way to deselect all.

This really should be fixed in the final.

Bug Confirmed but right-clicking -> "Select None" is easy enough.

1×1…

• Hi !

• Confirmeds too, I checked blowing up the image ×16 : It's 1² pixel, that normally was impossible to get formerly…

… and removing it via a menu-entry which has no shortcut sucks.

• A 1² selection could be useful, though, and IIRC had been requested.
- In GFIE, there is a special “Pencil Selection” to get that…

Confirmed. Minor annoyance, though.

I disagree and don't think that this is a minor issue:
E.g. you happen to click on the image and then use one of the filters: The filter will be applied to the 1x1 pixel selection, only, and users will ask themselves, why the filter no longer works. :shock:

Do you mean the right click on image in viewer? Then it's a very old bug.

...Oh, I see now, selection is created for the button with option "make a selection", I use right buton for it.

Anyway, confirmed. :bugconfirmed:

Annoying…

• Hi !

• I agree that it's very annoying. For instance, just a click anywhere makes that unwanted selection,
it enables the “Crop” button, that I don't wish at all…

Closed. Resolved in 1.95 final.

Still not fixed here (v1.95.3), strange.

Re-opened.
