I often select an area in a photo, then “copy selection” and “paste as new image”.
This is now different. It creates a new image, but with empty space around the copied selection. I always must click “copy selection” twice, in order to make it work as it was before.
Must I use some other function? I use this quite often.
Just “select” , “copy” and “paste as new image”.
It should paste the cropped layer properly. The main issue seems to be on some platforms, it’s pasted as a buffer so the offset position is lost. You can read the discussion in the merge request for more details.
