I had completed the foreground select and before starting the background select I automatically tried to save the file. This last effort of three caused Windows to freeze completely. Half an hour later it became usable again, but the foreground selected was gone.
There are many ways to save a selection
Once you selected something > Go to:
Select / Save to channel (once saved to a channel, to get back your selection, go to the channels dialog and select your "Selection Mask copy", then right click > Channel to Selection)
You can do the same with "Path" (Select / to Path... etc...)
