First thing to try:
Edit -> Preferences -> Tool Options then in tool options click on Reset Saved Tool Options to Default Values
Ok that, restart Gimp, see if it makes any difference.
I did that and so far, so good. Thank you.

As per my default settings,Opening a new image(without any canvas settings) will have centered and justified position.So if you want to be flexible with positioning/moving an image,
1)File - > New. Specify width and height (in pixels) which is relatively larger than the images you want to manipulate.
2)File - > Open as layers. Open the image which you want to manipulate/position.This will open your image on the current file.
As the current file background/Canvas is larger than the image that requires manipulation,We can use the move tool to position the image anywhere on the canvas and perform selections without being restricted to centered position.
I am editing hundreds of images so that would be a time-consuming method, but thank you for your reply.
