Hi Michael,

you can transfer a selection either using the ROI Manager or you press
(ctrl)shift-A (ctrl)shift-E before selecting the other image.
(ctrl)Shift-A (Select None) deletes the current selection and moves it
into the "restore buffer", (ctrl)shift-E takes it back from there.

[By the way, I don't understand why it sometimes does not work without
the (ctrl)shift-A step, but I have also seen this happen. When selecting
a new image while another one is active, the
WindowManager.setCurrentWindow method should always put the Roi of the
active one into the restore buffer.]

If I create the selection using the menu tool, the paste trick isn't available. Before requesting to fix this "bug" I just thought to ask if anyone sees a reason to leave as is, perhaps for behavior in macros?
