It looks like you have spread out the pages then used View -> Show All You can see everything but the original canvas size remains the same. When your selected area is outside the canvas you are selecting 'nothing'
Do you want the final result a 3 layer image, say for a PDF or a single wide image of the 3 pages ?
You can edit in the Show All mode if you fit the canvas to the layers. Image -> Fit Canvas to Layers In my opinion better to keep the layers one-above-the-other making sure you select on an active layer and paste into an active layer.
A bit longer video this time three and a half minutes https://youtu.be/wUyy7ZR8Sjw
OK so I fit canvas to layers. I finally feel like I'm on the right track.
Ultimately I'm trying to cut bits off of these pages and making one page of the standard page size (7" x 11" I believe?)
So I can fix a selection now but the boarder is only dotted and not crawling. It won't cut the selection after I switch tools.
Thanks for helping me with these noob issues =P
What next?
