See this for "solutions".
Specifically, editing a moving selection before anchoring it onto layer: move a floating selection into place, using a rectangle to delete unwanted sections, then anchoring it into place on layer.
My old version was actually 2.8.22. Never had it stop me from doing these edits on the fly because of an alpha channel lock, but i don't know the more technical aspects of GIMP much at all.
Alpha lock is fine after a paste, just having to click the alpha channel lock off for every edit while manipulating a floating selection is a pain, tho a hotkey to toggle function off would help...thanks for link.
