New annoying undo history behavior
Xubuntu 20.04 GIMP 2.10.30 from standard repository
There is a new behavior with the Undo History which I believe started in version 2.10.30. In the past when you selected a previous step in the history, the display immediately jumped to that display position. This allowed a toggling between the previous and current state that made a visual comparison of the intermediate changes clear.
However, in the current version, GIMP steps backwards step by step until it gets to the target step, updating the display for each step. This makes rolling back complex changes much slower and renders a visual comparison impossible. This is 100% reproducible.
Please restore the previous method of handling the Undo History.
Regards.
