I watched a video tutorial by one of our esteemed members in which they clicked on the little blue triangle in the bottom right of a brush in the brushes tab which expanded the view, I can't make this happen, anyone have any suggestions as to how I could make this function work please?

this way?

or this way ?

If a single click does not work, double click.
That just brings up the brush editor. Another way for the same result is select a brush, use the icon under the brush dialog.



edit: You can click anywhere, and a right click brings up a context menu
but this from gimp docs https://docs.gimp.org/en/gimp-brush-dialog.html

Meaning of the small symbols at the bottom right corner of every brush preview:
- A blue corner is for brushes in normal size. You can duplicate them.
- A small cross means that the brush preview is in a reduced size. You can get it in normal size by maintaining left click on it.
- A red corner is for animated brushes. If you maintain left click on the thumbnail, the animation is played.

Is it the cross ?

You have to click and hold for about a second on the "+" sign at the bottom right to see the brush in full size.

Thank you very much rich and Ofnuts. I was clicking - not holding down?
Always interests me as to other folks GIMP layout - rich, are you using a Mac?

That is linux, my PClinuxOS machine, with an old but favourite theme.
