Description Squeaky Pancakes 2020-10-06 02:49:41 UTC

SUMMARY
When selecting the content of a different layer the content layer will be selected instead of staying on the current layer. This breaks some workflows by having the user have to change layers afterwards.

STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. create image
2. draw on one layer
3. create a new layer
4. ctrl click the image preview of the first layer

OBSERVED RESULT
Opaque pixels are selected as expected but the layer that they are on is now also selected.

EXPECTED RESULT
Selected layer shouldn't change because the content of a different layer is being selected and not the layer itself.

ADDITIONAL INFORMATION

Right-click to change properties or color of the layer also changes the currently selected layer.

I'm not sure if it is a bug or a wishlist item, though.
