Tools aren't working - SBH514 - 04-24-2022
I'm trying to use some tools such as clone and eraser. The icon/symbol displays and nothing freezes, but when actually doing the task, they don't work. I added some text and completed, but the dotted text outline/box still remains around the text. This happened before and I couldn't figure out how to end using text, so I undid the entire adding of text and was able to use clone and other tools. I don't want to undo the text I just added, but I don't know how to rid of that dotted box, which I strongly believe is the reason I can't use the other tools. I've tried ctrl shift A, esc, clicking other tools, clicking outside the box, etc. I have no idea how to get rid of it.
I'm using version 2.10.30
Any help appreciated.
Thank you
I figured it out. I had to click on the layers.
Thanks
