Quote:Go to "GP" Layer - select GP & border using Color selection tool (hold shift and click on both)

That explains it... If you want to repaint "GP", set the alpha-lock on the layer and bucket-fill it. The pixels will keep their transparency (and, very importantly, the pixels on the edges will keep thatpartial transparency that makes everything looks smooth).

And for a slightly cleaner result, instead of creating a text layer and shearing it, do this:

• Create the text layer
  
• Hit the "Path from text" button
  
• Hide the text layer (no longer needed at this point)
  
• Set the Shear tool in "Path" mode
  
• Shear the path
  
• Select>From path
  
• Add a new transparent layer and use that selection to fill with a gradient
