    maybe its because of the thing where you select something and try moving it and it moves the whole layer? thats the only thing ive ever had a problem with in gimp

      Ooohh, okay, I get how that could be unintuitive. Thank you.

      It’s better to separate it to another layer so I do it without realizing. If you have trouble with outlines forming then use copy instead of cut.

        apparently the post was actually about deselecting everything and how its not intuitive for people that come from apps that dont use ctrl+shift+A

      I’ve just encountered this yesterday. Need to change the target of the moving tool in the toolbox or Toolbar or whatever it is called .
