Mouse cursor appears in the wrong position in Gimp

[Volodya]

If you take a look at this video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=48XLvblnz7A i show there what the problem is.

But i'll describe it textually here:

What i do:
Open any image in Gimp
Select any tool and try to work with it on the image
The cursor that is applying that tool is not where the mouse cursor of the Operating System is

It should be noted that i'm on a dual monitor machine and that the "fake" cursor moves slower than the real one. So it maybe related to that.

I am yet to find a workaround this problem (apart from opening the window on both screens and hoping to be able to hit the right spot.

I was unable to reproduce the bug with a single screen, nor a dual screen.
Volodya: maybe there is an overlap in your ARandR settings? I'm just doing a wild guess here, but if you havn't already check it: you will find the ARandR settings in the Settings Manager in the "hardware" section.

[Volodya (volodya)]

I should clarify that no such things happen in any other application.

My hardware section has: Additional Drivers, Bluetooth Manager, Display, Keyboard, Mouse and Touchpad, Network Connections, Power Manager, Printers, Removable Drives and Media. None of these can be abbreviated as ARandR, so i don't understand what i should be checking.

See the attached picture.

In that case this is something that i do not have.

my bad Volodya; i misread the bug report. i'm on ubuntustudio thats probably why i have the ARandR. I've been told ARandR has been replaced by XFCE display (the entry that you have in settings manager) I'm afraid i can't help you more than this. Best of luck tho!

[Volodya (volodya)]

I have managed to resolve the problem by removing .gimp-2.8 and restarting gimp.

I have kept the old version of the directory around, and am willing to upload it somewhere if it will help to resolve this bug.

One possible explanation is that you had the input device mode set to Window instead of Screen - see https://docs.gimp.org/en/gimp-pimping.html#gimp-prefs-input-devices

This is useful occasionally if you want to have the full size of e.g. a graphics tablet mapped to an image window.
