Are you sure that the color select tool is not stuck in say intersect mode, that might replace other existing selections.  Shift-B toggles   subtract mode, works as expected here.

Not a problem here: kubuntu 22.04 / Gimp 2.10.36  I do not know about Windows 11.
The place to report bugs is https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/gimp/-/issues

Quote:Can I roll back to older versions anywhere ?  

Windows installers are here: https://download.gimp.org/gimp/v2.10/windows/

Try disabling your Gimp user profile.  C:\Users\"yourname"\AppData\Roaming\GIMP\2.10\ by renaming say ....2.10-backup Start Gimp to make a new default profile. Is the problem still there ?


Thanks for coming back rich2005.  

"Are you sure that the color select tool is not stuck in say intersect mode" no I'm not sure, I dont know what that means. But all I have is a greyscale image, mostly black with white or at least black with lighter areas, and directly after loading with Select by Color I am clicking in the black area. So that defines a selection. And that's it, Gimp immediately becomes unresponsive.  I had intended to drop a fill into that area, blacking (RGB(0,0,0)) over the near black pixels. I have done this countless times.

Either way can you define how the image might be stuck in an intersect mode?

Thanks also for the other info.
