The tools-options and layers windows absolutely refuses to popup and show until I check single-window-mode.  Then everything shows up.  The only thing I can imagine is that Gimp imagines that they are off the my viewable display window.  I mean like when window gets to the 4000+ pixel on a 4K 3840width size.  But that's just a theory.  Another theory is that since I upgraded from 2point something, and I was using those windows, something got lost in the shuffle.  Actually it was less of an upgrade, and more of a complete side-by-side install.  I noticed that the 2-version is still installed, which is also kinda annoying.

Yes, I have seen that problem and no solution that I can find.

There have been various reports to the developers about multi-window mode although not exactly that one that I can see.

Post a bug report to: https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/gimp/-/issues

As far as I can tell this is a problem wit the initial main window. You can skirt it by doing View > New view in that window, and then jettison that initial window (and of course continue editing the image in the new view). The UI then works normally.

This is now fixed with Gimp 3.0.4 see: https://www.gimp.org/news/2025/05/18/gim...-released/ in the regressions section.
