Hiya Admins!
You most certainlly prodded me into the right direction:
------I discovered that the computer plug-in end [USB connection] was far too tangled up with other wires and I straightened everything out and re-plugged the mouse cable back in.
Within a few minutes, the lassoo tool on GIMP was back to a recognizable working state and so far [fingers crossed] things are happily working as they should be,
This approach was something that simply never occurred to me, and I much appreciate you good folks pointing out it was likely mouse-related problems and not GIMP itself/
Now back to working efficiently---I hope----once again!
Kind regards, Rob
