Gimp freezes when arbitrary rotation used
Gimp has recently (last 10 days or so) started freezing when I try doing an arbitrary rotation of a scan.
I thought this might be due to the scan being too large, but it still happens when I crop the image quite close to the object scanned. The rotation progress wheel gets to about 80% then stops, and the progress wheel on the cursor persists. The only solution seems to be to restart the program.
Most scans are of quite small objects (coins) at 1200 dpi. Reducing this to 800 dpi seems to work, but I really need the 1200 dpi resolution to keep the images uniform with earlier scans. I have been doing these scans for about 5 years now with no problem, and I don't remember a recent update which might be a cause, though one might have been installed automatically I suppose.
