In this thread i learned about moving selections with a floating layer:

Today i found a link to a polish forum on my blog.
The problem was about a user trying to make a diagonal grid and one of my blog entries was given as the solution.
You use the Grid filter on a bigger transparent layer, then rotate to get diagonal stripes.
So in my example the canvas is 800x400px, but the grid layer is 1200x1200px.
Next, user was working with a layermask to non destructively "erase" some areas but whenever the layer is moved, the mask moves with it.
This is actually one of the features i'd like to see in Gimp. In PS you have a chain between mask and layer and unlinking it, lets you move them seperately.
One user gave the solution of using the Offset Dialogue (CTRL + Shift + O), which works on layer and layermask.
When i try to use the Float trick, only the visible pixels get selected.
So why can Offset move pixels outside the canvas area, but Select All cant ?
