Description:
In the xsane preview window I can not select the scan area any more. When I click there is something selected, but I an not properly choose the area. I am pretty sure that it did work properly not so long ago. Sorry, cannot be more specific here since I haven't used xsane for a while. A quick search turned up that this problem was already known and fixed 5 years ago in Ubuntu and Debian: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/xsane/+bug/370818 https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=311199 Fix here: http://launchpadlibrarian.net/49011896/xsane_0.996-2ubuntu1.2.debdiff From the Ubuntu bug report it seems that this problem has been reintroduced there as well. The Debian bug report includes a very good explaination of the patch. A quick look at the sources shows that our sources are indeed missing the patch. I have removed the debian specific part from the above mentioned fix and built the package. Now it works as expected. I'll attach it as xsane-0.996-preview.patch together with the modified PKGBUILD to include this patch. Additional info: * package version: xsane 0.999-1 * Ubuntu bug report: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/xsane/+bug/370818 * Debian bug report: https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=311199 * Ubuntu fix: http://launchpadlibrarian.net/49011896/xsane_0.996-2ubuntu1.2.debdiff Steps to reproduce: * start xsane * acquire a previev * try to select scan area with the mouse (in my case X61s Thinkpad trackpoint) |

Using the aforementioned PKGBUILD and patch, I was able to rebuild the package and everything is working again as it should.
Thanks.

The patch still applies and makes xsane's scan area selection work as expected.
Shouldn't this be merged into the official package?
