[Everything is stuck in white colour]

It has somewhere fixed itself but it was producing text and squares with markers. I flicked the change color several times.

[Everything is stuck in white colour]

The pen is set to black but whatever I use whether text or draw shape, it is all white. I just installed Paint.net on this computer. How to fix this? 

[Transparency doesn't work]

I make a image with transparent background. I copy and paste it on another image and the transparency overlays the image putting the awful checkerboard on top- you calls this transparent? For some parts of the image it cuts through a colour "layer"- not an paint.net layer to a covered over "layer". 

[Why isn't pdn an accepted attachment type]

Sure you could create an URL to allow attachment but isn't a bit of nuisance. Also the Max size is pretty low. 

[Can you cut/paste something on one layer only while see 2 of more layers]

I want to be able to see the other layers when cutting. 

[What is with the artefacts on this image]

I tried to remove some of it using the rectangular select and delete. I might have been getting some these marks from the original picture- internet derived. Moving using magic wand select was leaving some marks- it moved everything that was visual in the original image.   I'll probably just make a new file and move it over. I just want to avoid it happening in the future. Here are the marks that Magic Wand picks up. 

[Can you cut/paste something on one layer only while see 2 of more layers]

I had a problem with a certain file where showing the bottom layer would lead to any cut on the top layer goes through all layers. 

[What is with the artefacts on this image]

 

See the marks next to circle on the far left. When it has two layers then deleting it works but then when I fix the other layer then it comes back again. 

[Can you cut/paste something on one layer only while see 2 of more layers]

Maybe this one of the popular feature requests? I don't want to see checkboard. 

[Copy and paste in a layout]

That was just a test. The symbols are numbers with lines to quarters of the circle. In the real thing- circles will be different in each 6 circle group. Eli's PseudoSnap maybe exactly Thank you. 

[Copy and paste in a layout]

Thanks for your reply- how does that put the circles at the corners of a larger square- in my case I want six in a line many times plus into a H sort of shape

 

[Copy and paste in a layout]

Suppose you want to copy one item (a circle) and paste it three other times so they are all (their centres)  at the corners of a square. How to do that without lots of fiddling with the final positions?  I want to do it like that lots of times. 

[Wordprocessing level text]

It would be really great if someone could make a plugin for writing text in Paint please. Its pretty clunky at the moment with the straight conversion to image especially for a lot of words.
