When mesh painting a layered material, Mesh Paint Texture mode does not find any of the textures to paint on.  
The textures are on some of the Material layers, while the base material has no textures in the Material itself and only refers to the different Material layers.

**Is there any solution to be able to Mesh Paint onto the textures when using Material Layers?**

Same here, seems to be a 5.1 bug… It works on the 5.0.
