This bug or missing feature is bad enough that I am considering stopping using Rebelle. It is basic functionality that any layer-based system should have.

I am using the most recent Rebelle 7.2.4 (2024-11-29 d570fa20) but this has existed for all versions.

I have a two-layer drawing. If I have one layer selected (the current layer) in the Selection panel:

And then attempt to transform the selection, I get what is expected:

The transform box appears around the selection and I can move the selected region around on the layer. This is perfect.

But, if I select two layers - I want to move the line drawing and the colors together - I shift-select the two layers in the Selection panel:



Now, if I try to transform those two layers together, this is what I get when I change to the transform tool:



The transform box encloses all visible material and transforming just the selected region is impossible. The entire image moves together. This is NOT what I want. And it is not how other layer-based paint programs work. This is a FATAL flaw. It makes a layered-based workflow nearly impossible.

Please fix this immediately.

Thank you.
