The advice in gimp-getting-unstuck.html is helpful but today I found another way to get stuck. Somehow I got a tool set to what I'll call a "null option" which results in no visible change to the image. For example the very first pencil/paint/etc shape option is a null shape. Or if the text tool font size is set to 0 (zero) , letters added are invisible.
