I am doing this: - I open an ordinary .jpg file - I choose a selection tool (say, rectangle) - I select some small region - copy (from menu) - paste (from menu) - the pasted selection appears as a "Floating Selection / (Pasted Layer)" - I choose the move tool - I move the pasted layer to my desired location - I choose a selection tool (say, elipse) - I try to select some small region on the base layer (the original image) - while hovering the mouse over the image, the cursor shows an anchor - while clicking to make the new selection, the existing layers are combined into one single layer
I don't understand what is this. I just want that after the first paste action the new created layer remain there for ever, even after six or ten thousands other further actions. I only want to combine layers when I give the command to flatten the image. The tooltip over the Undo menu says "Undo Anchor Floating Selection". I can un-anchor the layers, but then it combine back again at next move. How can I paste as a simple layer which can remains as is ? I also noticed that I cannot select the layers with the mouse (in the Layers dock window), but I can move the layer selection with the keyboard up/down keys (but that didn't change anything for me). Which part of the documentation explain this ? (I didn't found this, but maybe I looked wrong).
