[Gimp-user] can't move layers - the selection is empty

[TorontoSongs <forums gimpusers com>]

This is like a weird gimp virus that has slowly taken over all my files on two
different PCs.

While a layer is clearly visible, when i use the Move Tool, it won't let me move
it.  there is a circle with a bar that appears when i hover over it.  underneath
is says The Selection is Empty.

i tried Alt, Ctrl Alt, Shift etc.
The float option is greyed out.
i tried selct all and then float, still the same problem.

Anyone else?  All of my layers have become immovable.

Steve
