selection tools doesn't work on macOS
Environment/Versions
- GIMP version: 2.10.22
- Package: installed from gimp.org
- Operating System: macOS Big Sur 11.2.3
Description of the bug
I have problems with all the selection tools. I did a research on the internet and I had read that you might not be able to see it if the show selection was turned off, but that was not the problem.
When I had the problem for the first time I had not the lates 2.10 version of Gimp, So I downloaded and installed the latest version. After that I still had the same issues. After installing the latest version I also could not see if the the show selection was selected or not. In the previous version of Gimp there was a sign, when the show selection in the View tab was selected.
I am not a Gimp master and I follow a Gimp photoshop course via Udemy, But I think that these are bugs and I read on the internet that I am not the only one with same problems. I tried the foreground tool on my laptop with a linux OS and then it works, but not on my macbook. I also tried to run the command gimp --version --verbose, but it failed. I hope that I have informed you sufficiently
