[Gimp-user] [fix the script] copy a selection and paste as new layer..

[David Gowers]

By the way people,

'copy visible' always copies the entire selection -- the resultant
buffer always matches the selection bounds exactly.. When there is no
selection this is naturally the full image size.

If you don't like this behaviour, you can use the Autocrop filter on
the resultant image or layer.
(plug-in-autocrop, and plug-in-autocrop-layer)
