Seems to have been broken in the most recent update.
You can no longer set a pixel offset for the alignment rendering it totally useless for accurate placement.
Any ideas on fixing GIMP

Now, if you have a bug report, and you want to be constructive, you can report it in GIMP:

Should be a simple roll back to the functional alignment tool.
However, there’s a large number of users that I know of that require pixel accurate alignment and have been using GIMP for this for over 20 years. It seems that a code update has been added without regression testing.
Yes but this is not a forum for bug reports. Please file your bug report in the correct place if you want a chance of getting it fixed.

Unfortunately, the Alignment Tool had to be rewritten to support multi-layer selection for 3.0, so it’s not a simple roll-back. We do have several WIP merge requests to fix some user problems with it though - hopefully we can finish tackling it soon.

It seems the buttons to do an offset alignment are still there, but the text box to insert the required offset is missing.
If there are only a few layers with unequal size, which makes distribution difficult then in the View menu you can enable Snap to Equidistance. If you set up a pair of layers the move tool will set the other layers.
