Foreground Select Tool -> Engines Inactive - nelo - 09-12-2018

Hello all,

I wonder why in Gimp 2.10.6 / flatpak ( and previous Gimp 2.10 s) I cannot choose the "engine" when in foreground select.
What prerequisites are necessary for that? Special kind of photo? Missing libraries?

It seems to have vanished from some compilations. Not there in my PClinuxOS Gimp 2.10.6 either. Still there in Windows versions.

This is from my old 2.9 appimage

Very probably the compilers missing this bit of advice
