GIMP 3.x: Editing a pdf

[brucemc777]

In Gimp 2.x i was able to copy and paste sections of a pdf (imported as an image if that makes any difference) whereas in 3.x i cannot.

I have uninstalled and reinstalled both versions a number of times, finally reinstalling 2.8

Due to my inexperience i suspect "user error" rather than a bug.

Would anyone be so kind as to advise?

Thank you!

Reinstalling Gimp rarely does any good. The problem often is in your Gimp User profile which remains between installs.

However, I can not find a problem with Gimp 3.0.4 - quick animation - https://i.imgur.com/DSRPqci.mp4
