Got this odd behaviour today, and I use GIMP fairly frequently so this only turned up in the past 3-4 days I think. I can't seem to left-click in the image itself (left-clicking on menus registers), so I can't, for example, paint anything. Is this specific to my machine, or can someone else confirm? I'm running 64-bit with [testing] and awesomewm (through gdm). FWIW here's my pacman.log for the time period, nothing stands out for me - http://pastebin.com/H3X82TY2

And python-setuptools/python2-setuptools just updated, fixing it for me. That was fast.

I don't think your problem was related to setuptools though. The recent two version bumps are only for patching its tests against python 3.1, which has nothing to do about us in any way. Regards, Felix Yan

What's more, setuptools is used for building Python packages. I wouldn't expect setuptools to be used during GIMP runtime. -- Kind regards, Damian Nowak StratusHost www.AtlasHost.eu

I don't disagree, and its surprising to me as well. This last update which moved things from not working to working was akonadi, lib32-openssl, prison, and python{2}-setuptools. Oddly enough now scrolling to zoom doesn't work.... I'll assume from the (lack of) responses here that the problem is unique to me, and investigate accordingly.

I've had similar issues when I have two mouses (mice?) connected at the same time. Or a mouse and a drawing tablet. I think it is related to the dynamic pressure and the input device configuration, but I don't use GIMP so much to care and investigate it.
