Cant dock dialogs/change layers
      
        I have a (i think) rather small problem with gimp. The programm itself
works fine, but when i try to dock dialogs or change layers, it
somehow doesn't show the blue "yes, this can be dragged here" tint
where it normally would. Also, i cant change any layers around. I
think, gimp doesnt recognize that im in the programm, so it doesn't
show it... Any help is appreciated....
No replies? Best if you give OS - Win 7 / 10 / or linux/OSX and version of Gimp.
I remember a similar problem reported recently but as ever not able to find it. In the past problems with Windows updates and Windows AV software sometimes blamed but I think, it is often your Gimp profile.
A more general starting point.
1. Rename your Gimp profile to disable, say (Windows) C:\Users\your-name\.gimp-2.8-bak (linux) ~./gimp-2.8-bak
Start Gimp up and check for problems.
2. Do 1. and then install the latest version of Gimp from www.gimp.org
