My original comment about sharpen not working seems to have been a local problem, that is now fixed. I thought this may be relevant to your issue.

 

Yeah, it could have been. I tried to reproduce it before I read your second message :)
 

If blur does not have a dialog it must be a one size fits all and may as well be removed! It clearly is not properly integrated into GIMP if it gets listed as "reshow" when it was never shown.

My earlier bug report here on sharpen showed it got integrated into menu as both "reshow" and "redo" even when I cancelled without doing a change.

These are more like UI defects but I thought it may have something to do with dialogue failures not exiting cleanly or at the right time. I could not imagine someone adding a blur that was not adjustable, that's just dumb.

I tend to agree that the reshow/redo behaviour feels like a UI bug/misfeature but I'm a novice here - others may feel differently (?).
And I was also caught by surprise recently by the blur behaviour - I had thought it had a dialog box but perhaps I have always used one of the other blurs (which does)... Perhaps it's there as a "simple" tool for beginners?
