Welcome to TVPaint Community forums !

When I copy a frame, create a new image layer and paste, nothing shows up in the project window, yet I can see the copied image in the layer's thumbnail. To then see the image in my project window I have to either click on another layer and return to the new one, or I have to grab the handle of the new image layer, drag it out at least a frame and then the image appears.

This must be a bug because I can repeat it anytime I want on on both of our computers.

Also have a little odd results with that.
This is how it goes here:
1. Select image (Anim Layer)
2.Copy (via Shortcut or RMB)
3.Paste (to new Image Layer)

4.===>> Image doesn't show up (the new Image Layer is active layer
5.Make any another layer active
6..===>> Image shows now up

I also tried ToolBox' FrameToNewImageLayer and it worked immediately.

Yes, the toolbox shortcut works well and this is why I hadn't come upon this bug earlier. I just thought I should post it.
