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?
Yes. I did when I uninstalled, and got a new installer. I Decided to install it with a new installer just because sometimes, downloads aren't perfect, and sometimes some of the files it installs don't work properly.
And, when that didn't work, I dug up an installer for GIMP 2.8, and I'm using that now. Ah well. It's what I'd been using before I got this computer, so I'll live with the previous version, I think. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
The reason I made this thread was because I couldn't find the installers for 2.8 at first.
