I think what might have confused me is that if you move the layer in the layer stack while the layers are selected it doesn't change which one gets the preview. So possibly you have to move the desired layer to the top of the stack before selecting the layers or something like that, I'm not sure.
PS: Changing to a light colour theme was the first thing I did

If for example you wanted to rotate three layers, what's the rule to say which one is used for the "preview" while you are adjusting the rotate?
In gimp 2.10 you could link the layers and choose which one is active so that's the one that's used while you are adjusting the rotate.
You can get all the layers in the preview together using the Composited preview:
Thank you Ofnuts, I hadn't spotted that. Just tried it, I'm still getting the centre of rotation based on one of the three layers but the composite view is helpful.
PS Just observing MyBB is merging my separate replies into one at the end of the thread, is that a forum setting?
Yes, but you can drag the centre of rotation where you want. Still The UI could be improved here IMHO.
Yes, if you make two posts within 60 minutes of each other, and no-one posts in between.
