I copied the selection, and pasted it in a new image. I pressed "shift+t" for reducing the pasted floating layer.
When you use the rectangle select tool there are 4 modes in the tool options. Replace, Add, Subtract, Intersect. When you Shift-Drag you are setting the mode to Add. ie the current selection will added to any active selections.
With the floating selection there are 2 options: To New Layer, or Anchor (Anchor merges with the current layer)
Shift+t = Unified Transform Tool
