Select tool inconsistent - whburling - 02-03-2020
w10 latest insider preview
graphics controller: Nvidia GForce GTX 1070
Gimp 2.10.14
if i start gimp with a new canvas
and left click on the ellipse select tool
I can create a selection and when I select the Bucket Fill tool, the selection remains intact and the region fills
Now if, while the above new filled selection exists
I left click on the rectangle select tool
and create a selection, the rectangular section is created
BUT if i then select the Bucket Fill, immediately I lose the ellipse and the rectangle.
IN ADDITION
if i start gimp with a new canvas
and left click on the rectangle select tool
I can NOT create a selection
should not both these tools work the same?

Do you see any warning/error messages in the status line underneath the image?

In addition don't forget that in Gimp 2.10 you have to "commit" the selection (Enter, double-click).
