<EM>&gt; I first noticed this when I tried to implement my own frontend.
</EM><BR>
<EM>&gt; Sometimes the image size seemed to be wrong.
</EM><BR>
<EM>&gt; Therfore I made a short test with xscanimage1.0.2 and xsane0.59...
</EM><BR>
<EM>&gt; same problem :-(
</EM><BR>
<EM>&gt;
</EM><BR>
<EM>&gt; At least the backend I'm using (plustek V0.36-18)doesn't allow you
</EM><BR>
<EM>&gt; to set a tlx/tly value that's bigger than the brx/bry value, even
</EM><BR>
<EM>&gt; if this is only an intermediate state.

<EM>&gt; Well, I would think that's probably best fixed in xsane/ xscanimage
</EM><BR>
<EM>&gt; for now, a quick and easy solution is to set tlx, tly, then brx, bry
</EM><BR>
<EM>&gt; and then tlx, tly again to be sure.
</EM><BR>
<EM>&gt;
</EM><BR>
<EM>&gt; In fact, I think I've seen this problem, but I couldn't swear which
</EM><BR>
<EM>&gt; backend I've seen the behaviour you describe on.
</EM><BR>
<P>I have now confirmed this behaviour in the HP backend too, in fact
<BR>
for this backend (or perhaps for XSane?) the tlx...bry options are
<BR>
reset under all sorts of conditions.
<BR>
<P>Since this is quite legal, and might even be necessary for some
<BR>
backends (I can't say if it is for HP) it seems XSane should do what
<BR>
it can to improve the user experience,
<BR>
ie: Whenever the backend resets tlx...bry, try to change them back
<BR>
<P>Also, as I said before, it would be nice if it set the top-left
<BR>
twice, so that the annoying behaviour mh and I saw stops.
<BR>
In the _very unlikely_ occasion that I have free time next weekend
<BR>
I will try to write a patch, but Oliver knows the code far better
<BR>
so hopefully he will be able to sort this out.
