Gimp: can´t edit image due to "GEGL-Error"

Question

Gimp(2.10 on Windows) is throwing a "GEGL-error" when i try to edit an image. Some minutes ago i was able to edit a image with Gimp, but out of the sudden, Gimp is refusing every editing, claiming that

This operation has no editable properties

??

What is going on?

regards

Answer 1

Had the same problem after gimp 2.10 first install on ubuntu, and was surprised that I couldnt find similar problem reports in web, only one: GEGL. The solution is rather easy: Select any selection tool before trying to select something.
