It seems like "something changed" in your installed GIMP files and/or
configuration settings. Since I don't know what would cause the problem
you describe, I can't suggest a way "back to normal" from there.
But until that underlying problem gets fixed, here's something to try:
Make some new brushes with the Brush Editor. With any luck they may
work normally, or failing that, the editor's behavior might provide
clues to what's going on.

I love "parametric brushes," that's the kind that the brush editor
makes. Their size, hardness and even shape can be edited. I configure
keyboard + mouse wheel commands to increase and decrease the size and
hardness of the active brush. That makes work like retouching photos go
WAY faster, vs. constantly changing brushes.

When I made my 'main' brush set I named them with leading zeroes so they
would always be at the top of the menu in the Brushes dialog dock. With
a circle, square, diamond and four ellipses (vertical, horizontal and
two diagnoals) I rarely have to use any other brushes.
