Hi. Lately i moved to Gimp 2.10.14 from older version (with white GUI - sorry for not being accurate). Honestly the older version was much more intuitive to work with. I have so much more frustrations with the 2.10 now, but it's possible i just need to know more operations for (hopefully) having more possibilities that newer version brings. One of the new problems with 2.10 is that i can not move pasted images (right after ctrl+v) if a layer above does not contain alpha in a place i want to click and drag pasted image. In those situtations I don't want to hide layer above, because often i want to paste something while basing on a placement of other things on other layers. Please tell me how to solve this.

Moving pasted images through layer above

This is the standard operation of the Move tool (and has always been, as far as my memories go), it picks the topmost opaque layer. You can temporarily disable this by using shift-click, you can also tick the "Move the active layer" option in the Move tool, and you possibly set that as a default in your previous version (the standard behavior makes more sense in the long run, if you know how to bypass it when needed).
to add to Ofnuts post a couple of screeshots

Once a selection is copied and the pasted there is a 'floating selected layer' That works just the same as any other layer. Even when hidden by a higher layer providing 'move the active layer' is enabled there is an indication of location. You can make that 'upper' layer temporarily semi-opaque from top of the layer dock. example: https://i.imgur.com/j6Dtnvm.jpg but why would you wnt to do it that way? More informaton please.

It is as the previous posts. Use the move tool. Enable 'Move the active layer' in the move tools options
You are missing tools and tool options in your video. Is that your normal setup? Example video https://i.imgur.com/nnOHdmV.mp4 |
