Move tool shouldn't deselect-all automatically after a move action : To reproduce : * Open an image * Select a part of it with any selection tool avaible * When the ant path display, switch to the move tool ( T ) * Move the Selection What it does : * Selection is invisible while dragging , on release the selection ant-path disappeared but you can keep moving the selection around with other drag-and-drop actions. If you switch to Freehand tool , you can paint anywhere on the canvas. Selection is lost. What I would expect it does : * Selection is invisible while dragging = ok , good for placement. On release the selection ant-path Should reappear , user can keep drag and drop the selection is Ok too . If you switch to Freehand tool , the ant-path should be still displayed , and so you can paint only the selection , even if this one has moved. Note : If you perform a move action on a selection with the Transform tool, this one behaves correctly.
Hi David, Yes, this is something we need to fix. Dmitry... I'm looking at you :-)

Fix the moving of a selected piece of layer Now the selection is moved alongside with the selected piece of data. While the stroke is active, the selection is hidden not to interere with the process of moving. As soon as the stroke is finished the the moved selection is shown again.
