When double-clicking a layer to refocus pinta, Pinta gets confused

[Rega Fox]

Scenario:
1. Create or load a file with multiple layers.
2. Give another window focus, while keeping Pinta visible
3. Double-click on any other layer than the bottom layer.
4. Try adjusting the layer opacity. Despite the indication of editing a certain layer,
Pinta often jumps to select the bottom layer instead while the "Layer properties" window is open.

Additionally. If you click cancel, the opacity is still getting changed.

I don't know if switch focus between two monitors affects this issue but I do not think so.

Version 2.0.1 (Official Manjaro Repo's)

Confirmed, it seems a bit random but I was able to repro it fairly easily (without needing to switch to another window / monitor)

I'm a relatively new(ish) Pinta user and my very first task of using Pinta of simply blending two images together had me directly running into this very issue, making what should be a simple task be not so simple.

I'm using 2.0.2 flatpak on Linux Mint 20.3.

The way I kept running into the issue was by simply opening a single image with a single layer in Pinta, then clicking the "Layers" menu -> "Import from file" and select whatever image. From there I would simply double-click on the top layer and, as soon as you drag the opacity slider, it would switch to changing the opacity of the bottom layer.

Worse still is that, if you then click "cancel", the name of the bottom layer will be overwritten by a copy of the name of the top layer.

Thanks, yeah those steps are pretty easy to reproduce it with

It seems like this bug is still present in the snap image. It happens to me when I create a new layer and rename it - it winds up renaming the layer below it.

I'm unable to reproduce from a source build

Maybe try from manjaro or aur. I don't think they're up to date yet.

Yes, this is fixed in the master branch but the bug is present in the latest stable release
