I have an image with several text layers on top of each other. Because they are rotated, they all have the same 'boundary box'.

I want to edit several of the text layers, but when I click on the text, it selects the wrong layer. Even if I actually click on the letters I want to edit (so not on the text of the wrong layer). Even when I set the wrong layer invisible, GIMP still selects that layer.

How can I force GIMP to choose the right text layer?

Make the other layers invisible by clicking on the eye in front of the layer name in the "Layers - Brushes" dialog.

  • Indeed, this doesn't work for me. Might be the version of GIMP I'm using.

I fixed it by moving the layer I wanted to edit up to the top, editing, and then moving it back down.
