Just in case anyone else stumbles across this thread while trying to make "tools that use CTRL" work in Gimp 2.8 in Ubuntu....
I struggled with this for weeks, was on the verge of installing Windows just so I could use Photoshop.... and then I found the solution. - Go to "System Settings" - Select "Mouse and Touchpad" - UNCHECK the box "Show position of pointer when the Control key is pressed" Then restart GIMP and hopefully, you'll be off merrily cloning and healing to your hearts content! Hope this helps someone -- View this message in context: http://gimp.1065349.n5.nabble.com/Clone-tool-not-working-tp39294p40866.html Sent from the Users mailing list archive at Nabble.com. _______________________________________________ gimp-user-list mailing list List address: gimp-user-list@gnome.org List membership: https://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/gimp-user-list
