Is it just me or is it known bug, that clone tool in gimp 2.4.0-rc2 doesn't work? I pick it (C key), then press Ctrl to choose what to clone, then release Ctrl and try to paint with it. Nothing appears under the cursor.

Current SVN works fine here (and has no changes in the Clone tool AFAIK). Are you absolutely sure that you have the correct layer selected and that there is no selection active?

It also might help to reset the clone tool options back to the defaults.

I hope this helps, Simon

I make only one layer for purpose of experiment and try to work on it. Nothing changes. And nothing changed in clone tool options. I've installed Gimp from Debian repository. I'll try to restart computer just in case new updates are still not working or smth, but I doubt it would help.

Restarting the computer won't help. Doubleclick the clone tool to get the tool options visible if they're not visible already. Then click the bottom right button with the yellow arrow on it to reset it to the defaults. Then select Select->None to make absolutely sure that there is no selection left for some reason.

Does the clone tool still refuse to work?

Bye, Simon

This almost certainly means that your window manager is taking the Control+Click before GIMP can see it. This is not usual for KDE, AFAIK, you probably misconfigured something.

No.

I don't knwo what exactly you got, but to pick a source for the clone tool CTRL definitely is sufficient.
