Just installed GIMP on new PC. When I try to select a layer, it always selects the entire canvas.
1) I have shrunk all 3 "PVC" layers to "Content"
2) ALL 3 of the PVC layers are ABOVE the "Cabinet" main image (Canvas size) in the layer list
2.1) None of the layers are in a group/folder
2.2) Hiding "Cabinet" layer does NOT change how Align is working (it still selects entire canvas)
2.3) DELETING the "Cabinet" layers STILL selects entire canvas for align
Forum will not upload attachment images (upload failed, images are JPG <300kb). They are just screenshots of the GIMP window showing the layer pane, and the align corner select blocks. I've circled the selected layer corner blocks in both images indicating it's selecting the
canvas, NOT the layer.
What am I either doing wrong, or is there an internal setting I have to update?
I did NOT have this issue in a previous installation (I had to replace that PC), which ha an older version of 3.2.4 installed (2025). Odd that both were noted as v3.2.4, and 2026 (April) is the same version, but has this bug when the 2025 installation didn't.
Thank you
