Enhancement for Gimp menus

I'm using Gimp 2.6.11 on a Solaris 10 SPARC platform.

Often I want to switch between two closely related items selected from a pop-up window (e.g., brushes) or pull-down menu (e.g., fonts). For example, I might be switching between Century Gothic and Century Gothic Bold fonts. If the bold font is currently selected and I access the menu, the current font is at the top of the list and I always have to scroll back a screen to get the normal weight font. This is a minor inconvenience, but becomes a major pain if you have to do it all day long.

I suggest enhancing the code slightly to display the currently selected items in the center of the list or window when they are opened.

I would also suggest making the default size of pop-up windows (brushes, patterns, etc.) be larger, or better, let Gimp persistently remember the resized and repositioned user settings for these objects.

Regards, --

+1 from me. I normally use a tablet, and resort to using the 'up arrow' key in the situation you describe.

Inkscape does a fair job with its font list.
