New Background Layer forces Delete Cropped Pixels
Issue summary: When choosing Layer > New Background Layer after cropping part of an image on a layer without ticking the Delete Cropped Pixels checkbox, the cropped pixels end up deleted.
Product and version: Photoshop desktop version 20.0.10 and 21.2.11
Operating system: macOS 12.7.6
Steps to reproduce:
- Open an existing document with some layers.
- Select one of these layers, crop it without ticking the Delete Cropped Pixels checkbox.
- Under Layer, choose New Background Layer.
- Select the crop tool and drag the edge handles of the crop border.
- Notice that cropped pixels have been deleted (sometimes only part of them).
Expected result: Cropped pixels shouldn’t be deleted according to the setting of the crop tool. If this behaviour is intended, I’d suggest a notification before applying New Background Layer to a layer.
Actual result: Cropped pixels are deleted.
