Created attachment 117547 [details] Video example (tested using Krita 4.2.0-pre-alpha (git 0c1da95) It seems that the "Move Tool (T)" > "Tool Options" docker > "Selection Modes" section, options 2 and 3, do not work as they should (see video). Possibly related: Bug 400484, Bug 392557
(checked with Instant Preview OFF, same results here)
Using the 4.1.7 appimage and the Jan-18 build appimage (git 4f95062), I can't duplicate these results and I find that the Move tool works. (It does have some other unexpected behaviour which I can investigate further as a separate issue.) I used a fresh default set of configuration and resource files and I used a mouse for all operations. I use Debian 9 (stable). Can you attach or somehow make available your saved .kra file which shows these problems? Were you using a mouse or a pen to carry out the operations?

Please, see the attached zip file, it contains 2 kra files created with v4.1.7 and v4.2.0. (In reply to Ahab Greybeard from comment #2) > Were you using a mouse or a pen to carry out the operations? It was using the pen.

Thank you for those files. I've just tried both of them in the 4.1.7 and the 4.2.0 pre-alpha appimages and I used a pen throughout. I had no problem using the Move tool in all three of its modes of operation and I did some simple grouping which gave the results I expected based on my Reply in the forum post you refer to in Comment 4. The X:Y: position boxes also work with the up/down arrows and when typing into the boxes. This is a mystery and I have no idea what might be happening. I'm sorry but we need more people to try this and report on what they find.
(In reply to Ahab Greybeard from comment #5) > The X:Y: position boxes also work Yes, I had deleted that part in the forum thread :) However, the "Move Tool (T) > Tool Options > Selection Modes", 2nd and 3rd options (radio group) are not reliable in Krita version 4.2.0 and partially in 4.1.7. They seem to work in version 3.3.3. In my opinion their labels should also be more clear, like i.e.: option 1: "move current layer" option 2: "center layer at pointer click" option 3: "move all (nested) layers" I think that the main issue is: BUG 400484. I'm going to mark this as a duplicate of it. *** This bug has been marked as a duplicate of bug 400484 ***
