Using V2.10.2 portable from Partha's site I still have the Quick Mask button - its a small square outline below the vertical ruler and to the left of the horizontal scroll bar. Mousing over it shows "Toggle Quick Mask on/off Shift-Q".

Clicking in the square or pressing Shift-Q does indeed turn the Quick Mask on or off.

Hello,

My GIMP seems to be missing the QuickMask button in the lower left corner. I can't seem to find an option to enable it again. When I search Google, I can only find tutorials on using the QuickMask. I tried installing the latest version (2.10.2), but the setting(?) was preserved. I hope it's a quick and easy fix. If necessary, I can uninstall while deleting preferences, and reinstall. I just thought maybe it was a checkbox somewhere.

Thanks in advance,

It's exactly where it has always been. You probably disabled scrollbars (see View menu).

You can also easily toggle the quick mask by pressing Shift+Q.

There is absolutely no need whatsoever to try fixing everything by reinstalling :)
