Foreground Select tool fails in Draw Mode - Joydeck - 02-04-2021
On a layer in my Layer Group, the Foreground Select tool rough-selects, Draws, but on releasing the mouse button nothing remains drawn on the layer. (Foreground Select does work if I select the Layer Group rather than the layer.)
If I drag my Layer Group to a new image, Foreground Select works fine.
Since I had been experimenting with filters on the layer, maybe GIMP 2.10.22 lost its way somewhere. Is this likely a bug or am I missing something?

Generally works for me with a layer in a layer group. What filters are used on the layer ? Maybe a full screenshot of Gimp Tools / Tool options / Layers dialogues might help.

Foreground Select also works for me in other layer groups.
The Draw Mode failure remained when I returned the filter to Normal.
I doubt a screenshot would have shown anything untoward because you can't show nothing happening. Besides, I have now deleted the faulty image.
