[Gimp-user] why would the input png automatically get blurred?

[bsmile <forums gimpusers com>]

The xcf should reproduce the issue. Just delete the existing layer from
layer->delete layer, and then file->open as layers to import the attached png
file, and you will see the figure gets blurred. Quite weird, is it?

Also another question is, what's the use of "new from visible"? It seems it
carries the figure information to the new layer, if so, why not directly work on
the figure layer itself?
