Layer movement

Solved

Hello,

I had an old version of Gimp (2.3 I think) that sometimes prevented me from moving layers to position them where I wanted.
I recently installed version 2.10 thinking this bug would have disappeared... tragic mistake, it's worse!
Now, I can't make any movements, and when I try, it tells me in the taskbar "there is no selection to move"... except that the selection is definitely there..

Anyway, I'm at my wit's end...

Thank you for your help

Configuration: Windows / Chrome 76.0.3809.132

    Hello

    Yes, the ergonomics of Gimp and its functioning are not always obvious, I agree.
    With the latest version (2.10.12) I tested, but I have no issues. According to the internet, in previous versions (which I haven't used), this error message could appear if the tool selection was incorrect.



    Is it the same version?

      Oh yes, important... The active layer that is NOT selected by default. That could be it.

      thank you for looking into my issue.
      I think it's the same version (2.10.12).

      Uh... maybe. I don't have the toolbox on my view... I'm already looking to display it...

      Allelujah! By displaying the "move" tool window, I landed back on my feet.
      Thank you for your help.

        I'm glad :) Yes, in this version we can "fix" the tools in the panel/window, I prefer that to the "floating" ones. You need to go into the settings, I can't remember where.
