I think the OP is concerned because the opacity slider does not affect the 
active layer.

I tried to adjust opacity of a filled layer by changing the slider but could 
never manage to see anything of the layer below. Seems like I could before 2.8.6 
but I don't use it much so I don't recall well.

Bucket fill of a region works reasonably; that's what I've used more often.
