My Clone tool and Healing tool became prohibited in 2.10.8. I rebooted my system, reinstalled Gimp and tried a new image, still no joy. I couldn't get the clone tool to select, I kept getting the prohibited symbol, "circle with a slash"
I googled this problem every which way and couldn't find a solution that applied to me. It seems like this has been a long standing problem as there were many threads with no solution on several GIMP builds.
What finally worked is a Control click while in magnifier mode. All of a sudden whatever setting needed to be set seems to be working. My Clone Tool and Healing Tool are now working once again.
I wish I could tell you what I did to break it in the first place.
I am brand new to GIMP and to this forum, so excuse me if this is not the proper place to post this.
