Anyone have problems with GIMP on x86_64 and 8.10?

[---]

Hi!

I can't help with the mouse-problem, but i can tell you that the menu in 
the toolbox is missing by design. It seems that GIMP tried to streamline 
the GUI so that Windows-Users can more easyly handle ist, and they are 
used to having the menubar on the top of the main window only.
