I think I have the problem in hand now.
I could not find a way to set "Dynamics Off" from within the application. But, I did find clone tool tool-options settings in both ~/.var/app/org.gimp.GIMP/config/GIMP/2.10/tool-options (fortunately flatpak puts config options in intuitive places) and /etc/gimp/2.0/gimprc . It appears that options added directly to the user-local file are simply overwritten by the application. I didn't notice the system-wide file change doing anything. It may not be correct for 2.10.2 .
The really good news is that "force" is removed from the clone tool just by selecting "Basic Simple" rather than "Basic Dynamics". And, that did the trick. Selecting opacity 100% completely occludes the area cloned to.
Now, off to do some useful work. Thanks for the help; I very much appreciate it.
