Version: 1.5.9 (using KDE 3.5.3, compiled sources) Compiler: Target: x86_64-linux-gnu OS: Linux (x86_64) release 2.6.13.2 When you have selected a tool you can paint by clicking and dragging. This works for most tools inside the boundaries of the painting as well as outside. Where outside is the gray area between the painting and the rulers. For example you can paint half a rectangle by starting a drag outside the canvas. The bug is that this does not work for all tools. The freehand is one. The Crop is another (though the crop should still clip to the canvas). Please go through all tools and make them consistent.

Checked all tools, fixed the crop tool. Forward ported to trunk.
