It seems that the 'Affects' setting is saved globally, instead of per image file. So if it was set to Selection instead of Layer when the GIMP exits then it is 'restored' as that setting when the GIMP starts next time.

The tool options are saved between sessions by default, so the tool will come up again in the same state it was left in. So maybe it is just set differently on this system?

Thanks Michael, I had just noticed that the Affect button for Transform selection was getting selected. It was not real noticable on my display here, so I didn't pick up on that until just before you replied. Now the question is why does it do that on the FC4 machine but not on the FC3 box? It's not a big issue now that I know what's going on, and can remember to click on Transform Layer, but it is a difference.
