No, the background layer is transparent. I changed the FG color to other colors, and still no joy.

Do you get the crawling ants showing for the selection ?
Does the fill tool icon have a "barred" indicator. That can happen if the transparent layer is locked by accident.
Probably a tool setting. changed and not noticed. Try Edit -> Preferences -> Tool Options and Reset Saved Tool Options to Default.
It wasn't the "Lock pixels", it turned out to be the "Opacity". Somehow it got turned down to 0. I noticed on your screenshot, it should have been 100. That did it! No idea how that got changed.
Thanks!
