Gimp 2.10 clone brushes appear as X

Both my regular clone brush and my perspective clone brush appears as an X. In perspective clone, I cannot seem to select a source. Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks.

Alright, I hit reset for all parameters in this dialog, and that seems to have done the trick. I have always thought Gimp's implementation of the cloning tool (especially its perspective cloning) was better than anything else out there. Working in 2.10 this evening reinforces my opinion. The only thing that I would wish for is PS's anticipatory view such that, when trying to align during cloning (say a row of barbed wire), you see where your destination pixels will fall before you commit to the clone. Absent that very nice feature, I would wish for a way to undo a destination click such that the source remains in place so that you could click several times by trial and error to fine tune position of the source pixels.

This is an issue with which my concerns are mild. The clone tool as is does a wonderful job.

Ubuntu must have pushed 2.10 out to me in an upgrade, as I had been running a 2.9x version.

It was a pleasant surprise to open Gimp and find 2.10 installed. Seems to run nicely on my Ubuntu 18.04 setup.

Thanks and congrats to the developers.

Now there's an idea - an option so once the clone source is set, instead of / in addition to the normal brush outline it shows a translucent preview of the source region (masked by the brush shape).

I've wished for something like that for a long time.

It's a feature that I find very useful when I am using Photoshop, although, to be truthful, I rarely use PS these days. I maintain my subscription, and I dug in to actually learn how to use LR (which raised my tolerance to actually give DT an honest try), but the open source aspect of GIMP, and now, darktable (which, for me is far superior to LR in actually manipulating images) has always appealed to me. Additionally, Linux has always seemed to just run with less fuss than Windows.

Back to that cloning feature, it's very useful, but, otherwise, I find the GIMP implementation of cloning to be the cat's meow. Perspective cloning, IMO, is just so intuitive and useful, straight forward and easy to use. I love it.

OK, I shall descend from my soapbox, now.
