Your problem may be that the selection markers (aka, "the marching ants") are not visible, so they disappear after you make your selection (but the selection is still there). See View > Show selection (you can also hit Ctrl-T to toggle that setting).
Oh ok I think I understand- there's two selection boxes at the same time. One for the entire layer and one for what I've manually selected? There's dotted lines around everything, and also a seperate box of what I've selected.
OK let me rephrase it like this- if I have a layer that only has a circle in the middle; the rest are transparent pixels, how do I select the circle? In photoshop I'd draw a selection box around the circle and press the up arrow key and the down arrow key and the selection would constrain itself to a selection of the circle.
