Your layers menu likely shows the words Floating Selection (pasted Layer) If so, then the layer must be be anchored first. Under the layer menu, select Anchor Layer Not on my GIMP … I move around floating layers all the time. I'm pretty sure «Select → None» is the solution. -k ___ gimp-user-list mailing list gimp-user-list@gnome.org http://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/gimp-user-list
