You can sure mention bugs here and we can discuss it, but I doubt any developers are actually watching this community. Reporting a bug here is not the right way to actually request that a developer resolves it.
I like to use PieFed to discuss software bugs with other users to determine if it is actually a valid problem and worth posting a formal issue report on their git repo or whatever.
This seems to be the formal way to report bugs for this project: https://www.gimp.org/bugs/
I meant for the recent updates like 3.2.5. The issues there are all very old.
It also doesn't work for me, I just see the "Create Issue" button loading continuously, can't get passed the first step.
I'm not creating an account, so unless I see an error about requiring an account there, I won't make one.

Where do you see that? I see how that website leads to their Gitlab instance.

Of the items there which are actually tagged with a version number, they are all recent versions:

That is certainly a concern with formal bug reporting for any software project. It requires you to create an account with whatever git service that the project uses (GitHub, Codeberg, Gitlab, etc.).
Windows.
(I know)
And that's why I asked if bugs can be mentioned here.
