Unable to select or do any transform

I'm using Gimp 2.2.13. I've been using this for several weeks now without any problems. Recently, the functionality for the mouse click seem to have been locked. For example, when I use the selection tool, I am unable to make any selection by clicking and dragging the mouse on the image. When I select Tools -> Transform Tools -> Crop and Resize, I am unable to do any cropping or resizing (the dialog for resizing doesn't even come up). Other functions seem to work without a hitch, I am able to do other things such as Transform Tools -> Rotate.

Did I inadvertently mess up some configuration on my gimp?? Thank you!!

Sounds like you have configueed an "extended input device" (like a graphics tablet) - this disables teh mouse in favor of said device.

Got o preferences->input devices and disable this configuration.

No, it shouldn't do that. The core pointer should always be available, no matter if you configured an extended input device or not.

YMay be so in a bugless World. But since my behavior always has been exactly this, I thought it was the norm, not the exception.

My tablet is now lended to my sister in law, but when I ghet it back I will try to narrow down where this behavior come from.
