Gimp and jumpy pixels

I'm starting to get the hang of gimp, but I have a small problem when running gimp on Gentoo. When I work on an image, especially when Zoomed in, Pixel will on occasion start jumping around. I put a pixel of a certain color somewhere, and instead of drawing that pixes gimp throws in 2 or 3 pixels to the right of that and moves existing pixels in the area too. I will have to press zoom in and out once to get the screen back properly. Quite anoying when editing on a pixel level.

Is this a known problem?
Is there a known fix?
Do I need to supply a screenshot?

I am running gentoo 1.4 rc2 with the nvidia drivers.
Gimp stable under KDE

Not quite sure about that, I'm currently using the cvs GIMP, and haven't noticed that problem (as i do pixel-level editing as well). Perhaps you could check her:

Good luck.

I have experienced something similar too - when my screen resolution (DPI) didnt match the image resolution (or GIMP resolution).

Check Files->Preferences...->Monitor for your settings in gimp.

also, try:
