Ah, I see the problem now. There is not an 'active channel'. There is rather an 'active drawable' (and both layers and channels are classified as drawables). This has always been the case (but perhaps we can show this in a clearer way? I wonder what Peter thinks.) > > So to paste into a channel you have to... > > - select the channel (in the channel panel) > - edit > paste (or paste into) > - select the layer panel > - hit the anchor button > - select the channel panel. Note this is less confusing and faster when you have Anchor bound to a keyboard shortcut. Select the channel, paste, anchor. (if you wanted to change opacity or layer mode, you still have to switch to Layers dialog though - ick!)
