The parametric brush editor is not the way to re-size a brush for use with the
clone tool in Gimp 2.8.x  It is a bit of a hang-over from Gimp 2.6.

For reference, the stock brushes are not-editable. Right click on the brush,
make a copy and that copy is editable if needed .

Otherwise, using the clone tool and the small fuzzy brush,

1. Natural size of brush is 51 (25 radius)

2. Using the tool options, the size can be adjusted as required. You can also
adjust the size without re-sampling.
