You can still float and move a selection using Crtl-Alt-Drag.

They will be kept, but they will be kept as what they were supposed to be from the very beginning: an internal implementation detail that the user doesn't need to know about. This change has not yet been laid out in all details, but it looks promising.

Unfortunately I have very little time to devote to coding currently, and haven't really been keeping up with the changes here. In 2.4 The user can no longer use a selection tool to "tear off" and float a selected region, am I right? If you want to select and move a region you now have to manually float with either ctrl-shift-L or do Ctrl-X, Ctrl-V, correct? If floating selections are to be removed, how do you anticipate a user selecting a section of an image and moving it? By creating a proper layer from the selection? Thanks, -- Alastair M.
