Ok first thank you for the video. Second, I have literally done everything you have done step by step to make SURE I didnt miss anything. Everything is fine until I get to the part where you click and drag the linear line to blend or add the gradient. The second pic disappears to black and adds this white line where I dragged the mouse?Is it my gradient settings?Is there a certain type to be using?What is your gradient setting set to? Im going to try and send you a vid of wht I did.Help?

@8779firestarter got your video and good to see you figured it out. it may have just been a software bug at the time

Which gimp version do you have? I have the thin bar one so it doesn't work the same way
