Thank you for the report. Can we take it that this can be reproduced? We may have language problems; I know no German. (In reply to Wolf Duttlinger from comment #0) > Selected an area using the foreground selection tool. > Moved the selection > and did choose layer, > fix (or combine - "Vereinigen"). I have wrestled long trying to reproduce your fault, but need a much more detailed & exact description of what you describe briefly above. I cracked doing a foreground selection, but then? The possibilities are many. I did manage in the end to move the selection+content (leaving the original content intact), and anchor it into a pre-existing different layer. "Moved the selection" : do you mean just the selection outline, or its contents? How did you do the move? With Alt+Ctrl|Shift click & drag; or using the Move tool? This creates a floating selection; normally you cannot do anything until it is anchored - without choice, to the layer below. I think. "and did choose layer" : how did you do this? Once you have a floating selection, in its own temporary layer, you cannot choose another layer. I think. "fix (or combine" : probably 'anchor' - to the layer below, without any choice that I could see. CC:

lewyssmith Thank you very much for following up on this one!!!! Sorry für being imprecise. I was under time pressure to get the picture done. Reproducible: yesterday it happened twice in succession. (Afterwards I saved as xcf after each step and was able to finish, I also did close a few other programs) Tried to reproduce it just now. Didn't happen again. Steps: Foreground selection. Select. Ctrl-x Ctrl-v Move hovering selection (schwebende Auswahl) with mouse (might not be the best idea, but I'm really not anywhere near a pro, just need to move a face closer to another one) Select menu - layers - anchor layer (ctrl-h) Error As I said, not reproducible anymore. Could have been a memory constraint situation???? Picture was 4032x3024 jpg. Selection roughly 700x1100, oval, "hairy" boundaries. Again sorry that I can't be more precise. What I wanted to achieve I could. No requirement from my side for further follow-up. Thank you for the detailed description of exactly what you did; and which I could easily replicate. As with yourself - no problems. (I learned that Ctrl/X, Ctrl/V, Move selection in floating layer, leaves the original space background filled!). > I also did close a few other programs > not reproducible anymore > Could have been a memory constraint situation? Good news. Your speculative diagnostic might be the case. > What I wanted to achieve I could. > No requirement from my side for further follow-up Thank you for this helpful remark. I am closing the bug, but you can always re-open it if the same thing happens again. Resolution:
