Super helpful! Yes I am running GIMP 2.10 in Big Sur on a Mac. After reading that issue through to the end I saw that the area actually remains selected, minus the marching ants. The bucket tool filled it as hoped.
All is well. The bug that eats the marching ants is mildly annoying but someday it will be resolved. Meanwhile I can work with GIMP this way.
Many thanks!
