When using cage transform tool in gimp 2.10.20, random patches of image fragments appear, sometimes immediately after closing the cage, before any movement of the handles, often outside the cage. Completion of transform produces random-looking results that might be related to those fragments, however it's difficult to determine how exactly because fragments have random, or at least unpredictable shapes. Fragments outside the cage remain in the image after transform. This problem was not seen in 2.10.18
Alex, is it this upstream issue? https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/gimp/-/issues/5267
(In reply to Sergey Torokhov from comment #1) > Alex, is it this upstream issue? > https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/gimp/-/issues/5267 It does look similar. There are many different instances of similarly described bugs reported and supposedly fixed in various versions of gimp since 2.8, so it may be related to them or it may not. It may be also related to corresponding versions of gegl.
Looks like doesn't depend on gegl version as isn't reproduced for me on gimp-2.10.18-r2 built with gegl-0.4 26. But sometime it randomly normaly works with 2.10.20 and next time artifacts could appear or just cage transformation doesn't work at all. It's for the same preservly saved .xcf with black square with 3 marks outside it where the cage transformation markers are set.
I tested gimp-2.10.18 last week (with gegl 0.4.24, 0.4.26) and got randomly working or broken cage transform tool. The appearance or not of artifacts depend for me on placement of transformed object on canvas. It seems that under certain conditions the artifacts are just behind the border of canvas.
Fixed in upstream and 2.10.26.
