Tool Options have disappeared - ajax - 02-03-2025
This pertains to Version 2.10.38 (64bit) of GIMP on Windows.
GIMP is running in Single Window mode. I think I mistakenly clicked the mouse on something unintended when using tools in the Window/Frame displayed on the left side of the screen. As a result Tool Options are no longer displayed in that Window/Frame. I spent a good amount of time reviewing the User Manual looking for a way to undo this unwanted change but without success. I did find and try selecting the menu option "Windows>Dockable Dialogs>Tool Options" but this did not appear to cause any change.
At present I'd expect that this problem could be fixed by reinstalling GIMP but I'd rather not do that. Therefore, I'd be grateful for some help figuring out how to undo this unwanted change which I think would mean restoring the method of using Tool Options to the default setup (i.e., normal out of the box behavior).

Yup! That does it. I suspect that is also how I mistakenly created the problem.
Many thanks!

No... This dialog is known to self-detach to its own separate and floating windows when you click on some of the widget in some specific ways. Then people just close this new window. You can lock the dialog so that it doesn't detach again.
