Hello friendly people,
So I was using my Wacom tablet in GIMP 2.10 (Tablet model CTH-460 if that matters) and all the dynamics were working just fine until they just... suddenly weren't. There is a text box that says "Dynamics Off", but there's no drop down and right clicking on the field turns up nothing. I can't check or any of the boxes in the mapping matrix, and I can't manipulate any of the other options in the drop-down. I checked tool options in preferences, but nothing there seemed like it would help me out. I also tried updating to 2.10.32, but that didn't change anything either. Does anyone have any idea what might have happened?
Tl;dr: Tablet dynamics suddenly stopped working and refuse to turn back on. Wat do?
OK, so I got my dynamics back by following the instructions in this thread:

Open the dynamics dock Windows -> Dockable Dialogs -> Paint Dynamics
Bottom of that dock is a 'Create a new dynamics' icon. Click on that and it opens the Dynamics Editor dock.
It is 'untitled', so give it a name. No need to save, it goes straight into the Tool Options list.
Later on when you have the Paint Dynamics / Dynamic Editor dock closed. You can bring up the editor from the little icon left of the dynamics drop down menu in the tool options.
A bit of a quick (50 second) animation.

Dare say there will be a 30 minute video somewhere on the internet.

Thank you, this worked! Now I can get back to what I was doing. Thanks again!
