I have tested this issue in Pinta 1.1 on Windows XP and Ubuntu 11.10 (also on the latest development). I don't get any error, but Pinta does freezes in my case. According to the attached picture by john-16 it looks like this got to be some very small picture like 5x5 pixels. I did the following:
1. Open Pinta and click on New icon from toolbar.
2. In New Image dialog type in 5 for both Width and Height and click on OK button.
3. Press <Ctrl> and press "-" many times (in my case 5-times) or scroll mouse wheel to zoom-out the image.
Canvas gets out of control - if you zoom in many times the image on canvas is no more visible. If you switch to some other program and switch back to Pinta the canvas does not get updated. Pinta is in freeze state.

This problem only happens with very small images. It zooms-out and zooms-in with big pictures without a problem.

Don't know if this is the same problem as john-16 I only tested on Pinta 1.1, maybe in older version there is a crash message...

john-16, can you please download Pinta 1.1 and try if this problem behaves like in my case or if it produces the error.
1. Download tar file from: http://github.com/downloads/PintaProject/Pinta/pinta-1.1.tar.gz
2. Open terminal and execute: cd <path_to_your_downloaded_tar_file>
3. tar xf pinta-1.1.tar.gz
4. cd pinta-1.1/
5. ./configure
6. make
7. make run

First check Help | About there should be an info of Pinta 1.1 (so you are running new 1.1 version) and then please recreate the steps that produces the crash. Please also it would be nice if you could provide more detailed step-by-step instructions how you reproduced the problem (something like my steps above). What is your image height and width?
