No. The "real" answer did not work. Even with the "real" answer I could not escape subtract mode, period, nor could I find a way to escape it. It was horrible to discard all tool options and restart.
What I'm hoping is that someone might explain how I *should* have escaped from an endless succession of dialog boxes complaining that you can't subtract from nothing. The method I found is still the only method I know, but I doubt it's the only way.
Make a screenshot of your UI, then, showing the Tools options dialog.

Here is the tool options dialog box. Gimp version 2.10.34
