1: This only started happening today, but the gradient tool doesn't let me place a point and drag a second to another spot. Is this something i accidentally changed, or is this an issue? I don't remember changing anything related to it.
2: When typing in a text-box, the font selector does not do anything. Yes, i have selected all text in the text box, and i have re-opened gimp many times and it keeps happening. On random days it will decide to work but the next time i go to use gimp the font selector stops working again.

Any help with these issues is much appreciated, thank you all in advance.

1. Do you get a forbidden sign? Have you go a selection active? Can you attacha  screenshot shwoing the layers list and the Tool options
   
2. Which font selector?The on in the Tool options or the on-canvas widget above the text? If the Font list Windows > Dockable dialogs > Fonts listing the fonts? How many fonts have you installed?
