>have managed to get around this for the most part by having to manually wrangle it so it stops, but I can only do that after I notice it happening, because there's absolutely no warning for whenever it decides to do this

>new layer, copy them over, and begin trying to re-arrange them
>with all these parts I'm not even sure where to place them now

>'its ok I can just load the backup'
>turned out the backup would lose me far more progress
>'its ok I can just uuuuuuuuuh remove the background yeah'
