Bug Description
Pinta 1.2-development
1. Open new image.
2. From Layers pad click on the Add New Layer.
Note: Beside Background layer witch is created by default when new image is created, now "Layer 2" is created and now selected as current layer.
3. Text object from Tools and click on canvas and type some text like: test
4. From Layer pad select Background layer.
5. From Tools pad select Paint Bucket and from Palette pad select red color.
6. Click on canvas to draw background red.
You will notice that inside test text there is still white color which indicates that "test" text is in the same layer as background. So here is a problem.
To test this out, do the following:
7. Click on "Layer 2" from Layers pad.
8. Click on Move Selected Pixels from Tools pad.
9. Click on "test" text and try to move it. Text can't be moved to new location, so it appears that "test" is not on separate layer.
I hope I understand this correctly, this is the way Gimp is working.
It looks to me that this bug may be related to https:/ /bugs.launchpad .net/pinta/ +bug/983709 - both the work around is to use <Esc> key after typing text "test" into the canvas.
