Your window manager is exceptionally uncooperative. Reconfigure it or use a different one. I've NEVER heard of a window manager that's as rude as to block CTRL+click from application use.

I have an image currently stored / loaded as an "xcf" file. I've flattened the

The pointer shows the clone tool with the forbidden symbol (OK so far). I pick
the area I want to use as a source, then press the CTRL key. The pointer doesn't change. If I click while holding down the CTRL key, the pointer changes to a hand, and moving the mouse moves the *WINDOW* on the screen. When I release the mouse button, the pointer goes back to the clone tool with
the forbidden symbol.

I can't select a source area, so cloning is impossible.

Why? All help is appreciated.

Why?

1. Click on the Clone tool
2. Move to the source area
3. Press Ctrl
4. Left click
5. Release Ctrl and Left click button 6. move to target area, start cloning
