Try the Flatpak version of GIMP.
I'm not a fan of the attempts to create universal packages. The problem
they create is that you have multiple different versions of the same
libraries and you're now relying on multiple people to patch security
holes and bugs in all the different versions.
One of Debian's strengths is that all the programs (eventually) work
together perfectly. I'll put up with bugs that sometimes creep into the
testing versions because I know that they get sorted out and the final
stable product is very stable and secure.
I do admit that I've seen more, and more serious, bugs in this testing
release than in previous ones. However I also note that there have been
some amazing changes right the way through so you have to expect that
things will break.
I think the GIMP problems may already be fixed. After tonight's upgrades
it seems to be working a lot better.
