R: Filters suddenly not working?

I'm a huge beginner when it comes to GIMP, but I was working with multiple layers, and suddenly my filters stopped working. I used Drop Shadow for 7 layers, and my last three layers won't filter!

Did you make a selection? Maybe small? And maybe even made its border invisible (ctrl-T)?

Your filters may be working on just a handful of selected pixels, rather than the whole image. This happens to me every time I use ctrl-T to hide the marching ants.

Selection->Select none (or, Ctrl+Shift+A) is very often the solution :)
