GIMP Version: 2.8.4
Operating System: Mac OS
OS Version: Mavericks 10.9.1
GIMP Experience: Basic Level



It used to be in Gimp 2.8.8 for Mac I would see the preview of the brush as the cursor so I could judge what the size was going to be now in 2.8.10 Mac (running Mavericks).
I have no preview. Just an cross hair and the brush icon. So I have to blindly guess the size of the brush.
Is there a way to get this back? I hope someone can help. Thank you.

Unless it's a specific bug on Mac versions of 2.8.10, make sure in Edit>Preferences>Image Windows
Show Brush Outline box is checked in Mouse Pointer options.

We have many Mac users at Gimp Chat I'm sure they will be along soon. For now I would do a search of Gimp Chat for 'Mavericks'. There has been quite a bit of discussion about Mavericks already. I'm not a Mac guy so I can't remember any specifics.

EDIT, I found one by K1TesseraEna to try.

Hi everybody. Some of you might have noticed, that the latest GIMP 2.8.10 package had a nasty bug. The outline of brushes, pencils, the clone tool and others were not visible. That made it very hard to draw, paint or use the tools accurately.
Although the last release only has an age of 3 days, I‘ve made a new package with the fix, because I think many depend on the painting capabilities. So, go to the download page to get the fix. Sorry for the inconvenience.

Have fun.

Just a bugfix release
