Same as Nelo's post
Thanks for the screenshot.
1. You are using a brush "Transparent (something or other)" have a look in the brushes dock and change from that (1) to a more regular brush. For the clone tool one of the fuzzy brushes is a good bet (2)
2. I can see problems ahead with the brush dynamics Change the Pressure Opacity setting to Dynamics OFF (3)
Why does this happen after you have reset everything and even reinstalled Gimp ?
3. That only looks like a selection. It is not a selection.
4. Gimp keeps the last settings used in your Gimp user profile C:\Users\"yourname"\AppData\Roaming\GIMP\2.10\ which remains between installation. Which is why reinstalling rarely fixes any problems.
5. You can delete that brush, right click on it delete brush.
