You found the problem.    (:    If i disable the "show me mouse cursor"
checkbox, gimp clone immediately works as documented. No restart, no
closed window, nothing. Just check and uncheck it (the mouse
accessibility window apply changes instantly). And no close+open gimp
either.

And this problem was inserted with the update i did, a few weeks ago,
from Debian 9 to Debian 11. I did not change these settings together
with the update, and i used gimp normally, before.

A bug where? Well, firefox and vivaldi use "ctrl+click" too, and they do
it now as they did before.

So, for now, i will accept this reality: gimp clone tool is different
for me. But i will use it as usual, anyway. Nothing lost.

Thank you very much, Liam,
