In the new version 2.10 it appears, that I cannot move an item within an image via the first menu 'Move'. For example, I created an new item in lettres and I want to move that item to another position in the same image, but it is not possible because of the combination of three signs: plus, prohibition sign and square.

I am using the GIMP version 2.10 running under Windows 10. In the older versions I am able to move an item.

What to do now?

You have likely set your Move tool to "Move selection" mode (which is really "Move selection mask", not "Move selected pixels"). Since you have no selection there is nothing to move. Just reset your Move tool to "Move layer" mode.
