Cut & Paste selection in different OS [SOLVED]

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.

Are you sure you're cutting and not copying in windows?

Not sure what is it. I rarely use Windows actually, but when I do I need a nice image editor.

Anyway, I guess we may consider it closed since copying and pasting works okay.

Damn, some miracles happening here on this Win10 machine. Re-downloaded the latest 1.9.8 .zip package and now it is doing what it should. No more glitches. Thank you for your patience, time and support. I'm sorry. Marking as solved.
