Pasting a copied tile selection makes it the active tile stamp rather than directly placing it on the map. This has a number of advantages:

  • It is easier to place it in the correct location, based on the brush preview.
  • It is possible to paste a tile selection and place is using a different tool, or to place it with a modifier (for drawing lines or circles, for example).

A disadvantage might be that if you're pasting just a single tile and this is already the currently selected one, you won't notice anything happening. It's also just not very standard behavior.

When we eventually implement a "move selection" feature (#650), we could revisit the paste behavior to see if it makes sense to integrate with that by default, though then we'd need a separate "Paste to Current Tile Stamp" action since it would still have its use.
