Description Elián Hanisch 2009-05-29 01:05:13 UTC 
Version:           2.1 Alpha (using 4.2.2 (KDE 4.2.2), Kubuntu packages)
Compiler:          cc
OS:                Linux (x86_64) release 2.6.28-11-generic

when you're working in a particular layer, and you change the visibility of another layer, the layer selection changes. This can lead to mistakes where the artist paints in the wrong layer, like:

you're working in a image with several layers and you tick off the visibility of a non-selected layer (for whatever reason), for get back to painting you have to select again the previous layer.

or you're working in a image with several layers were some are invisible, you make one of those layers visible again (for get a better view of the end result, whatever) if you're not careful when you get back to paint you won't be painting in the layer you previously were working.

many times I had to empty the undo history because I was painting in a different layer than I thought I was.
