On the home page, this is the description of the 2.10 forum:

Quote:It stays as a 'floating layer' or something.

Once you have a Floating Selection you have 2 choices:
1) Merge it with the currently active layer - Use the anchor icon in the Layers Dialogue
2) Create a new layer - right click on the Floating Selection and select "To New Layer"
Many functions are disabled until this choice is completed.
