Tools remain active when closed or cancelled.

[memwaa]

Can someone enlighten me or is this normal:
I'm using the latest version of GIMP 2.10.32, however when I use a Tool or Filter, ie Filters:Blur:Focus Blur and subsequently cancel the operation, the tool re-appears when i click on the screen......in other words, the tool remains active in the background until I select another and then that remain active in the background.
Many thanks in anticipation.

Yes, that is the way it works, there is always an active tool (the last used)

You can use a keyboard shortcut to choose a 'neutral' tool, say measure (shift-M) if you do not want to click in the toolbox.

Ah ok, thank you for your reply, at least I now know it's normal. I'll try your 'shift-M' or something similar. Thanks again.
