GIMP 2.99.19 bug where selections and layer group effects interact
Environment/Versions
- GIMP version: GIMP 2.99.19 - the special GEGL param build CMYK Student gave me
- Package: Source build
- Operating System: Fedora 38 Linux
Description of the bug
Making a selection on another layer, keep the selection active and then adjust curves on an adjustment layer group and the curves will only apply on the selection I made earlier
Reproduction
Is the bug reproducible? Always
Reproduction steps:
- Put two images inside a layer group
- Put one image outside of a layer group
- Add a curves filter to the layer group and adjust it a little
- Make a selection with the rectangle tool to one layer inside the layer group and keep it active
- Adjust curves on the layer group again
- The curves is restricted to the selection on preview.
…
Expected result: Curves in the layer group shows an accurate preview and is not hindered by a selection of a layer inside of it
Actual result: Curves on the layer group submits to a selection in a layer. I actually wonder if this is intentional.
