I am using gimp 2.8 on Ubuntu 16.04 with a Wacom Tablet. The problem is that even after reinstalling Gimp the erase key fails to work. It continues to paint, say, and refuses to switch to erase. I can make text boxes and use other tools but the program refuses to switch to erase. If I change the file .gimp2.8 to gimp2.8delete or something and reinitiate Gimp, erase works for a few minutes and the problem returns. The problem occurs whether I use the tablet or the mouse. Any thoughts?
