Hello !
I'm using gentoo with gnome, and when I want to use gimp, there's a little problem with the rulers :

Actually, it is ok when I launch gimp but If I resize the window or zoom in/out, it seems that gimp adds new lines but doens't remove the old ones...

Anyone knows how to fix this ? Thanks !

Does this only happen in the GIMP?

Are you running compiz or some other compositing manager? If so, try disabling it and see what happens.

I disabled it, and no change occured. As far as I noticed, it only happens in the gimp...
Thanks for answering ! I was wondering if i would ever find a solution...

If it's only in the GIMP, try recompiling it and see if that solves it.

I just recompiled it, and I still got the same error, with or withour compiz... (gimp 2.6.4)
If it is not a Gimp problem, what other program might have this same problem ?

I have a similar problem in xsane.
No compiz, just plain gnome and xserver 1.5.3

I used to have this problem until I discovered it was my GTK+ theme that was messing the rulers up. Try changing themes.
