Special interest into procedural texture filter, edit alpha channel, RGB/16 and RGB/32 color formats, stacking, finding root causes for misbehaving files, finding creative solutions for unsolvable tasks, finding bugs in Apps.

My posts focus on technical aspects and leave out most of social grease like „maybe“, „in my opinion“, „I might be wrong“ etc. just add copy/paste all these softeners from this signature to make reading more comfortable for you. Otherwise I’m a fine person which respects you and everyone and wants to be respected.

Hi @ashf, this isn't a bug but rather the Windows behaviour is now consistent with Mac. Adding an enclosure layer should, by default, expand the parent layer so you can see the layer you have just added. If you prefer not to have this behaviour you can go to Edit>Preferences>User Interface and disable the option "Auto-scroll to show selection in Layers panel".

Hope that helps!

Ah, so "Auto-scroll to show selection in Layers panel" wasn't available on Windows til 1.9.
Didn't notice  it.(even though I have both platform)

I believe it was just called "Show Selection in Layers Panel" in 1.8.5 - seems to do the same thing as regards "opening the layer tree automatically"

To save time I am currently using an automated AI to reply to some posts on this forum. If any of "my" posts are wrong or appear to be total b*ll*cks they are the ones generated by the AI. If correct they were probably mine. I apologise for any mistakes made by my AI - I'm sure it will improve with time.

It seems that it was off by default in 1.8.
Changed to on by default in 1.9.
