hello everyone
I usually manage to troubleshoot on my own by searching on the internet
but I'm comming here because I really don't know what to do anymore ;-;
gimp sometimes freaks out, switching tools back and forth when (for example) I hit the edges of a toolbox
it started doing this around version 2.8 or 2.6(?)
I used to click on tools to reset the behaviour and go back at drawing
it wasn't something I couldn't work around
but now, it came to a point I absolutely cant draw anymore
I do 2 strokes, and suddenly the brush start flickering between colors and tools
it also fixates on the tool options doing that highlight
as if there's something important for me to check there
I tried:
- uninstalling and reinstalling gimp
- same for the tablet driver
- preferences>tool options>reset saved tool options to default values
- preferences>input devices>reset saved tool options to default values
- turning off my mouse and touchpad in case they were interfering
- deleting the gimp folder in my %appdata% to get rid any 'user profile' info
- and ofc I restarted my pc multiple times while trying all these things..
I tought maybe my tablet died... so I bought a new one which didn't arrived yet..
but then I tried using my friend's tablet to see if the problem would solve- nope! the issue is the same!
I tought maybe it's my pc's issue so I tried installing krita and see if the issue happens there (using my old tablet)... and nope!
I can work on krita just fine!
so I'm considering to abandon Gimp...
but I've grown using only Gimp since 2008 ..it's frustrating..
thank you so much for your time and attention <3<3
