Granularity / speed of unified transform adjustment is much greater when unconstrained scale compared to constrained scale
Environment/Versions
- GIMP version: 2.99.8
- Package: Gimp flatpak beta
- Operating System: Kubuntu 20.04
Description of the bug
When using the unified transform tool, tool options include constrained and unconstrained scaling, which refers to maintaining the existing aspect ratio of the layer being transformed. When the constrained scale is being used, the step and speed of adjustments using the adjustment handles are reasonably small and precise, but when unconstrained scale is selected, the step and speed of adjustments are large and coarse, making it much more difficult to make the adjustment precisely.
Reproduction
Is the bug reproducible? Always
Reproduction steps:
- Select a layer into unified transform mode
- Adjust the preview image with the tool settings as: Constrain - scale / shear, From Pivot, Scale/Sheet, Pivot Lock
- Compare speed/precision with the same tool settings except Constrain scale deselected.
…
Expected result: The speed and step of adjustment should be the same in both modes
Actual result: The speed and step of adjustment greatly increases when unconstrained scale is chosen.
