changed behavior CNTL-X and CNTL-V, moving sections

[Hupa]

Hi all, 
I discovered changed behavior since I use version 3. 
I am maintaining scores for our choir and for that I sometimes need to amend, fix scores. Sometimes that involves changing, or better, moving texts on the score. 
For that I loaded the "original" in GIMP, select the portion that needs to move, cut (CTRL-X) it and that paste it (CTRL-V), after which I could move the paste portion around using my arrow keys. One of the use cases is also removing excessive white space.
In version 3 I can do the same CTRL-X and CTRL-V, but then nothing happens when I use the arrow keys. It appears like it has lost the connection to the selected area in the canvas.

I suppose something has changed in the behavior in version 3. I looked up for changes, and see entries on Internet about CTRL-C and CTRL-V, but they do not seem applicable to my use case. 

Thanks in advance

You will get used to a new workflow. Might be slower at first.

CTRL-V  no longer pastes as a "floating copy layer"  It now makes a straight forward new layer.  You move that as any layer.  You might want to merge it down as you go along.

For what it is worth, a 30 second animation, https://sendvid.com/54ks9y74  (and that might be slow to show)
