Foreground Select Tool Does Not Work is GIMP is used on the second screen
Environment/Versions
- GIMP version: GIMP 2.10.36 (also in 2.10.34)
- Package: Direct from GIMP
- Operating System: Windows 11
I click on Foreground Select. I use the free select tool to outline the selection. The prompt says to hit enter, so I do. Instead of the initial selection being displayed foreground/background, the Help opens up. It does not seem to understand that the initial selection has been made. Description of the bug
Reproduction
Is the bug reproducible? Always
Reproduction steps:
- Use Foreground Select tool.
- Make the initial selection using free select.
- Hit enter.
…
Expected result: Initial foreground should be indicated for continued work.
Actual result: Help file opens.
Additional information
This happened in 2.10.34 as well as 2.10.36. I think the application doesn't realize that the selection has been made. I think it is supposed to highlight a "SELECT" button in a little pop-up, so that hitting ENTER effectively hits SELECT. However, SELECT is not clickable. This is, because I think the application does not realize that a selection has been made.
I just remembered an issue I had that was related to me using GIMP on a second monitor. I moved it to the main monitor and it worked correctly.
