Instead of using the free select tool.
If you want a selection that has no feathering then use the Quick Mask to paint in the selection see: https://docs.gimp.org/en/gimp-image-wind...utton.html
With qmask active. Use the pencil tool (which has hard edges) White Foreground colour. Paint in the selection. https://i.imgur.com/XO1VGD4.jpg
Toggle quick mask off, leaving the selection. Copy / paste as required. https://i.imgur.com/fHI6wJD.jpg
Thank you very much for your reply, I really appreciate you folks helping! I'll check out using quick mask.
I think I've figured out why the cloned area disappeared. It was minor - I didn't realize that the entire image was already selected before I selected the smaller area, so the second selection actually never was selected. I need to first "select none" and then select the new area.

This should keep your tools options (re-start GIMP to see if it works, it should keep your free select with the new setting).

Thank you again, I really appreciate your help! That worked.
And I sorted out the problem with the selected area disappearing.
