strange window behaviour

Hi all.
I'm used to a particular, useful behaviour. I'm working with Gimp 2.6.8 on ubuntu.

When working with multiple image, I leave the 'layers, channels and paths' window open.

When I switch between images, the lcp window automaticially empties itself of information pertaining to the old image, and populates itself with information pertaining to the new image.

For the last couple of days, I've been getting a different, disruptive behaviour: The information in the lcp window remains pertainent to the old image.

My current workaround is to do this after selecting a new image: I close the lcp window, and then open it again from the 'windows' menu.

What could be going on here? Maybe I accidently switched a setting? Is there a way to switch back?

You've probably accidentally turned off Auto in the Image Selection menu: http://docs.gimp.org/en/gimp-concepts-docks.html#gimp-dock-image-menu

It sounds like you did. :]

Look in the menu you get in the [ and so it behaves the other way.

Thanks guys.

It looks like I did deselect "auto follow active image".

With it reselected, everything is back to normal.

:)
