        Can't reproduce the problem on my own GIMP 2.8.0 - was I reading
        the steps correctly?

        
        I tried:

        1 - Open a convenient image, add layer mask (full opacity).

        2 - Switch to the layer mask and paint away. (works as expected)

        3 - Add a new layer (transparent) and paint some strokes

        4 - Add a layer mask (full opacity) to the second layer.

        5 - Switch to the layer mask and paint away. (still works as
        expected)

        
        Remember that adding a new layer mask doesn't automatically
        switch to it for editing - you must do that yourself.  From what
        you describe, it sounds like you're actually editing the first
        layer mask (the flower layer) instead of the second (the white
        stroke layer).

    Hi

    
    I wrote a course for learning to use gimp2.8 with a tutorial of how
    to use layer masks for out of bounds pictures.

    One of my course-members had problems with this tutorial, so I
    worked it out again to be sure, that the tutorial is correct in all
    steps.

    That was when I found out what the problem was, because I had the
    same problem with the second layer mask.

    
    The only reason, that I could think of, why you can't reproduce this
    is that the student and I both work with Linux Ubuntu (me Xubuntu).
    Do you work on Windows?

    
    Gimp looks strange as well, when I have the gimp-window on top of a
    Firefox-windows whatching a you-tube video, I can watch the video
    trough the gimp-window. 

    
    I'm not sure of how to proceed now, do I report this to
    Ubuntu-developer-list?

    
    Thanks in advance

    
    Anke
