You should have mentioned in that first thread from the getgo that you're using Win 8.1
Looks like Win 8 - GIMP compatibility issue. Been reported by many users.
It could be called a gimp bug, but 2.8.x work fine on Windows XP SP3, 7 and even Vista,
while Win 8 has/had all kinds of problems with other software as well (both Open Source and proprietary).
The way I see it - it's the Win 8 swarm bug (well, why am I not surprised?)
Win 8 was horrible, Win Blue just a tiny bit better but not so much I suppose.
@RobA That was one of my first guesses but it does not explain how it was fixed at some point after re-installing gimp (see the 1st thread).
Thank u so much for advice! As i posted above, it was just my mistake... lol
I never thought i was using pencil tool, but i was...
I think the tool icons placement is different from 2.6 inn 2.8 so I guess that is why i was picking up wrong tool
so I use brush tool now , and everything is working fine!
and os, when i made first thread , i was using vista , and after that that pc broke and i got new one 2 days ago, and so now os is windows 8.1 ..
so far gimp 2.8 is working fine on windows 8.1
