[Gimp-user] Gimp doesn't respond to mouse in image area, at all
Hello. Some time ago, the Gimp stopped responding to my mouse in the image window. In other windows and on menus the mouse works fine (ie I can select brushes and such and use the interface without problems), but in the image window (or more precicely, the canvas area) it's as if the mouse doesn't even exist. All kinds of clicks are ignored, the rulers doesn't show the position of the cursor, and the position in the lower left also isn't updated (it is set once upon entering the window, but after that it's dead). My tablet still works fine, but not being able to use the mouse for anything is somewhat annoying. This originally happened out of the blue one day while using Gimp 2.2.11 (I unfortunately have no idea what caused this to happen). I tried upgrading to 2.2.12 and then 2.3.13, without success. I also deleted the ~/.gimp* directory in the hope that regenerating the config would fix the problem, but no. No matter what I do, I can't make the Gimp recognize the mouse in the image window. The mouse isn't anything special, and it used to work with the exact same X config I've got now. I haven't changed the xorg.conf file in several months. The Gimp is the only application with this problem. This is on a dual-core amd64 processor in 64-bit mode (haven't tried 32-bit), Linux kernel 2.6.18, Xorg 7.1. Does anyone know what might be causing this, and how to fix it ? Thanks, ~ Gerry I have the same problem, can anyone help? If there are bug fixes, please can anyone give me the link? -- ArRaf (via www.gimpusers.com/forums) ___ gimp-user-list mailing list List address:gimp-user-list@gnome.org List membership: https://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/gimp-user-list
[Gimp-user] Image Area doesn't respond to mouse.
Help me. I am new at GIMP and installed the 2.8 today. After I run it and create new, I can click on the tools, layer windows, and the pattern and gradients normally(Like how I saw in online videos), but I can't click on the image/canvas area in the main window. I can click on the menu bar at the main window, but not the image. I have tried all tools, but alas it doesn't affect the image. ...and it seems the cursor location at the lower left corner isn't updated. -- ArRaf (via www.gimpusers.com/forums) ___ gimp-user-list mailing list List address:gimp-user-list@gnome.org List membership: https://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/gimp-user-list

Try opening edit-input devices and check if core pointer can be found there; its mode should be set to screen. Don't know if, but hope this helps. bw, Tobl Hi, thanks for the reply. I am actually using a tablet, I typed mouse for easier term. I've opened EditInput devices just like you said. The core pointer is there and it has already been set to screen, but it still hasn't work. Is there anything else? I would appreciate it. -- ArRaf (via www.gimpusers.com/forums) ___ gimp-user-list mailing list List address:gimp-user-list@gnome.org List membership: https://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/gimp-user-list

if you're using a tablet, there should be other entries in the menu as well, representing different parts of the tablet (stylus, eraser, buttons, etc. ; though they may not be labeled as obviously). Try setting the one for the stylus to screen. Also, make sure you have used your tablet before starting gimp (for example by using the stylus to launch gimp), or else it won't get recognized by the program. Ok, I've set them to screen, and I have restarted the program. The result is still the same, still no respond from any kind of tools. Also, the cursor location updates started messing up, and the cursor is blinking or some sort. Retried this a few times, still showing the same result -- ArRaf (via www.gimpusers.com/forums) ___ gimp-user-list mailing list List address:gimp-user-list@gnome.org List membership: https://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/gimp-user-list
