Ctl click unresponsive on Ubuntu. - Dubser - 04-10-2024
Hello,
I'm using Gimp 2.10 on Ubuntu 22.04.
Using the Clone tool the Ctl key is not detected by Gimp ( the Ctl Key is working elsewere.) this is rendering Gimp unusable un Ubuntu. The problem seems to be known for a long time, I do not find any workaround. Alt Caps lock, Ctl Alt do not work more.
Any help will be appreciated.

Also on Ubuntu 22.04 and no such problem.... however the Alt key is grabbed by the desktop/window manager (KDE Plasma) so is not usable in Gimp (still works as a combo, though, so maybe you can try with Alt-control or somesuch). Otherwise what are your desktop and window managers?

Make sure your alignment isn't on registered if your source is image

Thanks for your answer.
Very eased to know that you work with Gimp 2.10 on Ubuntu 22.04 so I expect there will be a solution for me.

I just note that only the Ctrl key is not working with the Clone tool , with many other tools the Ctrl key change the tool behaviour ( Cursor icon change) so my problem looks like some of my Gimp setup or utilization.

Thanks to Salyanne and Ofnuts you point me out the places to look for. The problem is mostly my understanding for Gimp and its tools it solve by pointing the source for the Clone tool to Image and sample to All layout. I Was trying to remove text in a image by cloning some part of the image over the text. I use a layer to make changes and I probably sample for cloning on the wrong layer.
Problem is solved.
