I just don't get it. I'm trying to edit a screenshot. I paste the

I want to use, instead it just moves the image around. Like I switched
tools at some point.
Just..why.
I want to crop a second image and paste it into the first. But every time
I go to select the specific part of image 2, all it does is move image 2
around instead of select.
I didn't choose the motherfreaking move selection tool. I'm on the
selection tool. I'm trying to choose an area to select, crop, then paste
into image 1.
But every time I go to select an area, it just moves the image and nothing
else.
Because hen you paste you get a transitional layer called "floating
selection" and you cannot do much with it except moving it around. To
get everything functional again you have to either:
* Merge it into an existing layer: Layer>Anchor layer, Ctrl-H
* Create a new layer from it: Layer>To new layer, Ctrl-Shift-N
