GIMP freezes/gets confused after opening a image file (JPG)
GIMP version: 2.10.14
Note: bug reporters are expected to have verified the bug still exists either in the last stable version of GIMP or on updated development code (master branch).
Operating System: [Windows? macOS? Linux?] MacOS
Package: [flatpak? Installer from gimp.org? If another installer, tell us where from] Direct download from Gimp.org
Description of the bug
Please describe your issue with details.
GIMP opens a file but then either shows the file or a blank canvas (grey chequered squares) to the size of what the image should be. If I minimise the programme then reopen it, the image appears - likewise, all changes/edits don't show until the screen is minimised then maximised again.
Deleting the programme then reinstalling only helps temporarily - not really a viable option.
Add screenshot or other files if needed.
Reproduction
Is the bug reproducible? [Always / Randomly / Happened only once ] becoming more frequent and always the same result with the same file. sometimes works if app is deleted then reinstalled.
Reproduction steps:
- open GIMP
- double click to open file
- click on file/files and press enter - blank canvas appears most of the time. No idea what makes some files work.
…
Expected result: file opens and image appears
Actual result: file opens, no image and edits don't show unless constantly minimising and maximising screen after each change.
