Do you have Dynamics for the pencil tool set to "Dynamics Off" ?

Any chance you know how to make gimp stop pasting every single thing I copy onto a new layer ... no matter what extra buttons I hit when I paste ???
Are you using ctrl-c / ctrl-v for copy / paste ? The default for ctrl-v is paste as a new layer. Did you previously use Gimp 2.10 where the default ctrl-v was paste-as-floating data. That baffled new users so it was changed in Gimp 3.
Look in Edit -> Paste as for the options as menu use
If you want you can change the ctrl-v using Edit -> Keyboard Shortcuts see: https://docs.gimp.org/3.0/en/gimp-help-k...tcuts.html
...and you can move the pasted data around and then "anchor" it. You can just as easily leave it as-is, paste as a new layer and merge the layer down. If you have come from PS or similar, Gimp does not use Objects which I believe "float"
