One possible explanation is that you had the input device mode set to Window instead of Screen - see https://docs.gimp.org/en/gimp- pimping.html#gimp-prefs-input-devices
This is useful occasionally if you want to have the full size of e.g. a graphics tablet mapped to an image window. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Desktop Packages, which is subscribed to gimp in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1540759 Title: Mouse cursor appears in the wrong position in Gimp Status in gimp package in Ubuntu: New Bug description: If you take a look at this video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=48XLvblnz7A i show there what the problem is. But i'll describe it textually here: What i do: Open any image in Gimp Select any tool and try to work with it on the image The cursor that is applying that tool is not where the mouse cursor of the Operating System is It should be noted that i'm on a dual monitor machine and that the "fake" cursor moves slower than the real one. So it maybe related to that. I am yet to find a workaround this problem (apart from opening the window on both screens and hoping to be able to hit the right spot.
