I can -- perhaps not changing the actual functionality but the manner in which it is displayed in the layer list.  For example, say my layer stack is:

- C
- B
- A

Say I make/float/paste a selection using layer B.  My layer stack now displays:

- Floating selection
- C
- B
- A

Here's the problem:  The floating selection is not at the "top" of the layer stack - it is actually between layers B (the source layer) and C (the layer above it).  The layer stack SHOULD display:

- C
- Floating selection
- B
- A

This makes it visually clear WHICH layer the float came from.

(Or, alternatively: )

- C
- B
- - Floating selection
- A

Which is something of a group-like display, but again this makes clear which layer the float belongs to.
