smudge working like paintbrush

[john harding]

The smudge tool on my Windows 11 PC is not picking up colour.  On first opening it does so, but then stays with that colour ever afterwards.  In other words, it has become identical with the paintbrush.

I have reinstalled several times without being able to correct this behaviour.  

Also, the latest installation has adopted Spanish as its language and I've been unable to reset it to English, partly no doubt because I don't understand the instructions I'm getting in Spanish.
