Paint tools locked up in Gimp 2.9

I am doing a rather involved layer blending project. I decided to go with gimp 2.9.5 to take advantage of the extra color depth. I completed the project and saved as an XCF file. Later I reopened and tried to paint on the layer masks to do a bit of fine tuning. Brush, Pencil, Airbrush and Bucket fill are having no effect on layer masks or the layers themselves. I checked to make sure that I did not have an active but hidden selection, that pixels were not locked, that transparency was not protected.

I tried opening a new image and discovered that the paint tools are also locked up for that image as well. I am at a complete loss. Any ideas?

The first two things I would do is:

1. Check brush tools' settings like blend mode and opacity. 2. Check foreground color.
