Cut & Paste selection in different OS

Post by TheExplorer »

Linux & Windows versions work different when it comes to Cutting & Pasting:

1) Select some area on an image
2) Cut it with Ctrl+X
3) Move the selection to some other place on the image
4) Paste with Ctrl+V

In Linux you paste the contents exactly in this moved-to-some-other-place selection.

In Windows it is pasted just randomly (I guess) regardless of the selection.

Can anyone confirm this?

P.S. Also, a question: where can I set more undo levels in the program?

Thank you.
