Now that you mention it, no.  I can't reproduce it every time.

A:
Just now I fired up GIMP, file->new->640x400
Selection and paintbrush worked for both mouse and touchpad.

B:
Open a jpg - now neither the selection tool nor the paintbrush tool works for the mouse.  The pen works 
properly though.

C:
Switch back to the original new image tab:
selection and paintbrush not working for mouse

Close GIMP
Open GIMP

D:
repeat A:
mouse not working for _any_ tools I try (to be fair, I only tried selection and paintbrush for A-C earlier 
though).
GIMP still responsive to mouse events though - eg menu, click tabs, quick mask and nav widgets

hope that helps.
