Dear Maintainer,

I recently upgraded to Debian 11, gimp is barely usable for some reason. If I
do a rectangle select, and then select invert, it will take quite a few seconds
and select random square shaped areas. Terminal output yielded

*** BUG ***
In pixman_region32_init_rect: Invalid rectangle passed
Set a breakpoint on '_pixman_log_error' to debug

Thanks

Dear Maintainer,

Turns out that some settings I was trying out for GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT in
/etc/default/grub were likely the culprit for the gimp issue. After I removed
the option and did a sudo update-grub and rebooted, gimp's behavior was working
very well and fast like before. The options that gimp didn't seem to like
proceed.
