I just ran into a weird problem.

If I select all in a layer, copy and paste, nothing happens.
If I try to rotate something in any layer it doesn't work. I can see the actual tool rotating, but whatever's been selected doesn't move.

If I copy and paste into a new file, I just get a white rectangle instead of whatever was copied. However, all this works fine if I open some other file.
I've never seen it do that before.

What's happening?

There are invisible Masks on your layer which are the reason for the strange behavior.

Select the layer with the grumpy cat Layer > Layer Mask > Reveal All then Layer > Vector Mask > Reveal All then right click and delete the masks that appeared next to the Layer's thumbnail.

The layer should now behave normally.

From the picture you don't have any active visible layers. And you are still in transform mode.

So:


Exit transform mode
Create a new layer
Select the image using ctrl+a
Paste the image onto the new layer


Alternatively you can just use ctrl+j and just duplicate the layer.
