Could you please look into image-dimensions in the Preview and Scan tabs
too?
Image is _always_ too big for the area it's in, and scrollbars are
visible. As far as I can tell, it's only couple of pixels.
Both Preview and Scan exhibit this behaviour. Histogram -tabs don't.
This is on linux. Theme doesn't affect this.
Visible in at least 7.5.68 (oldest kept) upto 8.1.4

Do you think this slightly warm "white" that you and Bart
are measuring may be associated with your monitor if it is
calibrated to D65 whitepoint?

No, the calibration process only changes the output power, and a
look-up table, not the RGB values sent to the display driver. Windows
allows to modify the "Desktop" colors, which can be either used by
applications, or not. A "Print screen" will just capture the RGB
coordinate values, and they can be inspected in many Photo editors,
without applying/converting to a colorspace because that can change
values.

Yes, thanks. I just wanted to make sure that you didn't assume the
default Windows color, as it can be changed by the user. Neutral gray
shouldn't be anything else than Neutral, so it needs to be hardcoded.

I use freeware called Pixie and EyeDropper, but the readings match
Photoshop's readings when I make a screen copy and paste into Photoshop.
