Quote:When I click, the brush indicator stays where I clicked, nothing happens, and the indicator doesn't move no matter how much I move the mouse with the button held down.
This bit still has me beat, the mouse pointer not moving.
At first I thought the brush might be stuck on an empty 'clipboard brush' example https://i.imgur.com/cNkPi57.jpg. That would explain none of the paint tools working, but you said that you tried other standard brushes, so not that.
Quote:I also have another question - should the brush indicator always be a square? No matter what brush I pick, even the basic round ones, the indicator is almost like a square with no edges.
At least I can answer that one. Edit -> Preferences -> Image Windows In the Mouse Pointers section. Tick boxes for brush outline and then the Pointer mode has Tool Icon / cross hair options.
Sorry I can not help any more. Did you delete the Gimp profile as recommended?
