Clone selection tool problem /lost

[Kev]

I seem to have lost the tool to select a sample from the picture. 

I think I might have accidently clicked on the wrong thing or touched a key on the keyboard.

I'm a real novice with PC's and IT so don't know much.

Before when it was working I would click on the area i wanted to select from then press the trl key on my keyboard and a circle would appear which could then use as my source for cloning and healing. Now i get  four corners and a cross in the middle and the cross stays where click but doesn't work .  


windows 10 pro version 22h2

Gimp 2.10.34

From your description and screenshot change the clone tool dynamics from 'Negative Size  Pressure' to 'Dynamics Off'

   

Worth checking the Clone tool Source and Alignment as well

Thanks . I seem to have fixed it but not sure how I did .

The pic looks a bit different to my set up and the screenshot is hard to read but then so is my screen shot
