This used to work but for some reason it doesn't any longer. Anyone else have/had this problem?

What do you mean by auto scale?

Best guess at problem. Cut from one doc at high pixels-per-inch (ppi) Paste into other document which is low ppi.

Example.  I open a PDF page (landscape - format) and next I open a PDF file (portrait - format).  I simply select a section from one document "cut" (CTRL-C) and "paste" (CTRL-V) into the second document I just opened.  The section I just paste it scales outside page boarder.  I just upgraded to: Gimp-2.8.14.

In previous version of Gimp, when I "cut" and "paste" the section always stayed with page boarder.

How to adjust that behaviour?

Thanks, for any input.
