--- Comment #2 from James Shorthouse <jshortho...@protonmail.com> ---
Sure, the behaviour is consistent from an entirely logical perspective but I
don't think the current behaviour is consistent at all with what the user would
expect to happen.

As I see it the "create from clipboard" function is meant to be a quick and
easy way to get an image into the program exactly as it appears in their
clipboard. I can't imagine a single person using this feature is expecting
their image to become an alpha mask for a solid colour layer.

What is the purpose in frustrating users by replacing what could be a useful
feature with an all but completely useless one just to remain "logically
consistent"?

Although, if it is desired that all layer options behave in the exact same way
then how about this?
For 1 layer, the behaviour is as it currently is.
For >=2 layers the fill layer is created as specified but then the image is
inserted on raster layer 2. When >2 all other empty layers are then inserted
above.

I think the above solution would remain logically consistent while still making
the feature useful when using the fill layer type. When I found this "bug" my
above suggestion was what I actually tried to do afterwards in the hope that it
might work that way, but alas it currently does not.
