Hello!
- Since upgrading, I find that every time I switch to one brush from another (i.e., default brush, circle, hardness 100, to same, hardness 25, or brush 'smoke') the new brush appears at its 'natural' size: 51px for the first two, and around 250 for the last. While in 2.8, the new brush opened at the same size that the one last in use...
- Contrairiwise, if I exit Gimp with default brush at 4px, on reopening, that particular brush is still 4px, while in 2.8 default brush opened alwys at 20px--one had to press the button 'reload default size' to put it at 51.
I suspect that I have missed some configuration option--particularly, there should be a way to switch between different hardnesses of the defualt brush without having the size changed as well.
Please, what am I missing?
Thanks!

In Gimp 2.10 if you toggle the link in the brush tool options off, that takes it back to the Gimp 2.8 state.

Thanks! It would never have entered my head, to seek for that particular preference under 'Input devices' instead of 'Tools'.

Thanks! I thought the link was to the default applying when one pressed the 'reload' icon at the left of the 'chain'--not on every call on the brush at a single session.
