Can a user Paste Into a Selection?

Hi gimp-user,

Replacing the sky:

I created a Selection, and I did a Paste Into. I moved the Paste up to cover the sky area selection. All looks good. The sky appears in the selection, but doesn't cover up the trees. It seems the Paste Into is obeying the Selection.

Now the problem. If I change the Floating Selection that I Pasted Into, the entire rectangle appears and covers up the trees. If I don't change the "Floating Selection" it appears I can not change to another layer.

I guess it comes down to, can a user Paste Into a Selection?

Thank you.

It works fine if you anchor the floating selection. But I think the behavior when creating a new layer from it, is indeed wrong.
