Bug Description

Hi,
using pinta-1.5-preview-20121103 on Windows XP. I see excellent new feature of Pinta 1.5 having brush width display, but I have notice a bug in display:
1. Open 500x500 image (make sure it fits on your screen with 100% zoom).
2. Select Paintbrush and make sure Brush width settings is set to 1. Start drawing straight line from top down and you will notice that line does not start to draw at "+" cursor, but instead it draws left of the cursor. Now set Brush width to 10 and draw line top down and you will also notice that drawen line is not at the cursor position.

Now select Rectangle and draw some rectangle on canvas. You notice that rectangle appears exactly on the cursor "+" sign?

P.S. See attachment. I have drawn a red arrow to show where the line (paintbrush drawing) should appear.
Thanks

Two additional tools not drawing exactly where the cursor is: Rectangle and Line.

Rectangle:
1. Open 500 x 500 image.
2. View | Pixel Grid checked.
3. Zoom to 3600%.
4. Rectangle from tools and make sure Brush width is set to 1.
5. Select red color from Palette pad.
6. Point the cursor EXACTLY (as much as you can) at the center of one of grid cell. Start drawing - move cursor very slowly top-down for 1 or less of millimeter. You notice the rectangle appearance slightly top-left as it should be. Try drawing rectangle and you will notice that cells you have marked are not actually drawn.

Line:
The same problem with Line. Repeat all of above steps, but in #4 instead of Rectangle select Line.

See attachment. I have drawn samples with red color as they appear using Pinta Rectangle and Line tools. On the same image I have drawn green rectangle as I think the appearance of drawing should appear.t

Also a problem with Text object.
1. New 300 x 300 image.
2. Zoom to 1200%.
3. Click on Text object and click on canvas.
You will notice mouse cursor is not at the exact location as expected.

P.S. It looks like trivial bug, but it is very annoying to work with tools which does not appear on the canvas as expected. Can we please increase importance of this bug to at least Medium.

I tested this on latest Pinta on Ubuntu 12.04 and it looks fixed. Excellent. Can't wait to get this in Windows-Pinta-preview...
