Help me.
I am new at GIMP and installed the 2.8 today. After I run it and create new, I can click on the tools, layer windows, and the pattern and gradients normally(Like how I saw in online videos), but I can't click on the image/canvas area in the main window. I can click on the menu bar at the main window, but not the image. I have tried all tools, but alas it doesn't affect the image. ...and it seems the cursor location at the lower left corner isn't updated.

Reminds me of when tablets aren't recognized, though i've never heard of it with the normal mousepointer.
Try opening edit->input devices and check if "core pointer" can be found there; its mode should be set to "screen". Don't know if, but hope this helps.

What platform is this?

Hi, thanks for the reply. I am actually using a tablet, I typed mouse for easier term. I've opened Edit>Input devices just like you said. The "core pointer" is there and it has already been set to screen, but it still hasn't work. Is there anything else? I would appreciate it.

if you're using a tablet, there should be other entries in the menu as well, representing different parts of the tablet (stylus, eraser, buttons, etc. ; though they may not be labeled as obviously). Try setting the one for the stylus to "screen". Also, make sure you have used your tablet before starting gimp (for example by using the stylus to launch gimp), or else it won't get recognized by the program.

It seem that similar problem appear on many versions of GIMP, 2.6, 2.21, 2.7.*, 2.8
another instance where it occurs is using mouse/touchpad and tablet simultanously (my case)

Is this particular problem happening on GNU/Linux or You encountered it on another OS?

Ok, I've set them to screen, and I have restarted the program. The result is
still the same, still no respond from any kind of tools. Also, the cursor location updates started messing up, and the cursor is blinking or some sort.
Retried this a few times, still showing the same result
