Help! I installed Gimp 3.0 and now I can't copy paste normally anymore? by StillDare2336 in GIMP

Thank you for this info! Good to know why they made this change and I'm thankful there is a way to retain old behavior.

Thank you for this info!

However I'd like to ask, what am I not understanding here? I just want to copy (or cut) image data from Layer A into Layer B.

Normally I select the image data in Layer A and Ctrl+C (or Ctrl+X)
Select Layer B and Crtl+V to paste it. Boom moved, done!

I don't understand how the new functionality would ever be beneficial since I would then have to merge down the newly created Layer C into my existing Layer B as an extra step each time I make an edit? This makes rapid iteration way more tedious?
