Description david gowers 2008-05-13 04:00:45 UTC 
Steps to reproduce it:
1. Open an image
2. Make sure that nothing is selected, by using 'Select->None'
3. Edit->Copy
4. Notice how the Clipboard Brush goes blank, rather than changing to
the copied data or a cropping of the copied data (since 512x512 is the
limit of clipboard brush)
5. Check that the image data copied okay, with Edit->Paste as->New image
6. Go back to the first image
7. Select->All
8. Edit->Copy
9. Notice that now the clipboard brush correctly contains the copied pixel data.

It is my understanding that usually, having nothing selected is
treated the same as having everything selected.

Fixed in both branches:

	* app/core/gimpbrushclipboard.c
	(gimp_brush_clipboard_buffer_changed): for an opaque buffer,
	initialize the brush mask with 255 instead of 0.  Fixes bug #532886.
