I have repeatedly had the recent problem in 2.8 on a Windows 10 machine, that in

it, and the only way to stop it is to use Task Manager to close the application
altogether. Keyboard shortcuts to close, the X, etc. do not work.
I would truly like to know what is triggering this, whether it is a known
problem, and what I can do other than press Ctrl+S after every blessed edit. I
have seen some years-old posts from previous versions of some variants of this
but that's all I have found.
If that happens after a Cut/Paste this is because the active layer is
the "Floating Selection" and there are restrictions on what you can
while there is one. You ha e to either "anchor" it (merge it t its
target paste layer (Ctrl-H) or make it a plain layer ("Layer>To new
layer" or Ctrl-Shift-N).
