   - Symmetry dockable contents is now shown, yet deactivated, when no images are
     opened, improving discoverability.
+  - Reworked the "Convert to * Working Space?" dialog into a "Keep the Embedded
+    Working Space?" one. Keeping an image working space is now the recommended
+    and default action. "Convert" became an explicit action requiring to click
+    (neither mapped to Enter nor Escape keys).
+  - "Floating Selection" renamed to "Floating Layer" or "Floating Mask"
+    depending on the type of item it applies to.
+  - "Floating Masks" are now drawn above the layer mask in the Layers dockable,
+    making the fact that they would anchor to the below layer mask (not the
+    layer) much more obvious.
+  - Pasting an image now creates a new layer by default (not a Floating Layer
+    anymore). The only 3 cases where we still have floating items are:
+    * when pasting into a layer mask;
+    * when doing quick copy/cut paste on-canvas with the Alt modifiers;
+    * when floating layers explicitly with the "Float" action.

+    * Fine-grained align/distribute button sensitivity to make it more obvious
+      when an action would not make any change anyway.
+    * New anchor point setting (pivot widget) to choose which part of the target

+    * Distribution actions don't move the 2 extreme (top/bottom or left/right

+      targets within their range. It is more consistent with how it works in
