Coming from https://krita-artists.org/t/paste-into-new-image-krita-krita-loses-color-profile/161872/1 .

Please note that this may be somehow Wayland-related. I am running Krita on sway.

SUMMARY

"Paste as new image" claims the data has no color profile when copying from Krita itself (while mere Paste is not fooled).

STEPS TO REPRODUCE

1. Open "ICC Rendering Intent Test.png" in Krita
2. Menu->Select->Select ALl
3. Edit->Copy
4. Edit->Paste into New Image

OBSERVED RESULT

A dialog about "Missing Color Profile", asking whether to interpret as sRGB or "As on Monitor".

EXPECTED RESULT

Krita uses the color profile of the original image.

SOFTWARE/OS VERSIONS

Linux/KDE Plasma: NixOS unstable
KDE Plasma Version: I think not applicable / used here?
KDE Frameworks Version: I assume this is the version of things like kio? Then 5.116.0.
