v2.8.2 copy/paste

Hi,
In v2.8.0 you can drag a layer, hover it over other image tab and, when that image opens,
drop it down to perform copy_layer/paste_as_new_layer procedure. In v2.8.2 it's not working this way anymore (Windows). Is this a permanent change to GIMP?
Could not find a heads up in last version release notes, no clues in bug reports or anywhere else.
Can anybody, please, enlighten me?

Thank you

It's a bug. Confirmed on Linux.

It's this one: https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=676522

The reason why this "worked" in 2.8.0 was because of another bug: switching tabs was not really switching images internally, this got fixed, breaking the "accidential" feature you are talking about.

Single window mode was simply never really finished, we'll try to get it right in 2.10.

Oh right, I remember some curious issues like the list of layers not being updated after dragging stuff around.

No chance for 2.8?

The problem is DND itself: the data is transferred on *drop*, at which point the layers dialog has switched to the new image already. I have a way of fixing this, but it's a bit intrusive. Will have to wait for the patch in master to see how intrusive the actual code is, and then decide on backporting.

Ok, thank you all for replies. I get it now. I've come to love that accidental_feature/bug :)

Have a great weekend, guys!
