how to turn off feathering when I "free select"

Thank you!!! 

Is there a way to get it to save that selection as the default?

Okay, that worked once.  Maybe even twice.  I created an area with "select free" and filled it with a pattern.  I changed the shape of the selected area with "scale," and anchored the new version.

But then I went to create a new little area to eliminate a bit of the new shape left over from after I modified its shape, and it doesn't work again.  I have it set so the feathering radius is 0.0, and feather is also off.  (You can see that in the attached file.)  I selected an area with "select free."  It selected properly, and didn't feather the selected area, as the file shows.

But then I choose "paint - clone" and the area I had selected simply disappears.  If I click on the "select" menu item, it doesn't show that anything is selected (i.e. no option to invert selection, or anything else that would suggest it thinks anything is selected).

Before, it did that if I selected an area smaller than the feathering radius - i.e. the whole area was eliminated due to the feathering, and if I tried with a much larger area than I wanted, I got the rounded version.  Now feathering is off AND before I turned it off I set the radius to 0, and the area simply disappears. When I try again with a much larger area, it also disappears.

There is only one layer in the image, so it's not some problem of the selected region being on a different layer.  

I hope you can help again!
