Hello all, thank you for taking the time to check my post.

I'm having an issue with Gimp. If I open a picture, I can edit it to my heart's content. But that's all. If I start a new file, just a blank one, that's fine. The moment I open a picture as a layer, gimp, for a lack of better term, freezes up. I can move the cursor. I can select tools, but I have to click one tool above the tool I want and it doesn't register as my having selected said tool unless I minimise the window and then bring it back up again. This is the same for any changes I make, including cropping. I can crop, but the lines do not appear. I have to minimise the window again and bring it back up, but even the cropping is off, so I have to click on the cropped area, guess how far to move it, minimise the program and bring it up again... Not only that, but once I have one layer added, I can no longer switch between layers.

Anyways, I hope I have explained the issue enough so that someone out there understands what is going on and how to rectify this issue.

Thanks again!

There was a some similar problem reported here with OSX/macOS, @rich2005 or/and other members of this forum got some solutions (sorry I don't recall which one)

But while waiting for them (they are in a different time zone), please give your full mac version/specification, and GIMP version, this will help them better to answer you

That is a peculier set of events. Used to be a problem with the selection 'crawling ants' not showing but Gimp updates have fixed that.

All sorts get reported for OSX: https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/gimp/-/issues/8677 https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/gimp/-/issues/7635 https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/gimp/-/issues/7577 but nothing specifically like yours.

Do you have a graphics tablet attached ? That can sometimes cause offset cursors.

The problem is, very few active OSX users on this forum to answer questions.
