gimp text layers are very hard to click

[juve]

After adding some (small) text to some image, i always have problems klicking on the text with the move-tool selected. It's very hard to aim for small/thin letters and NOT to click and move the layer behind.

to reproduce:
Open gimp, load an image, add some small (!) text and try to move the text using the mouse. It is very likely that you'll click the image layer instead.

Ubuntu 7.04
Gimp 2.2.13

Thanks for your comments. This does not appear to be a bug report and we are closing it. We appreciate the difficulties you are facing, but it would make more sense to raise your question in the support tracker. <https://answers.launchpad.net/questions>

I suggest you that you should try to zoom the image to an appropriate level.

btw. your zoom-workaround is obvious but imho it's really only a workaround.
I still think it's a bug (usability-bug). Let's see if i get some answers from the "aswers"-pages.
