What can I do to get the simple select rectangle function back? The behavior your describe is the behavior of most tools when the Alt key is depressed before the mouse click. See if you have the same behavior in other tools. If so, find out why your Alt key is depressed. Wrist? Cat? Hardware malfunction? You can also reset your keybprd shortcuts to defaults (Preferences/Interface) but I don't see where this particular one is defined. ___ Gimp-user mailing list Gimp-user@lists.XCF.Berkeley.EDU https://lists.XCF.Berkeley.EDU/mailman/listinfo/gimp-user

Drag on the selected area with RECTANGLE SELECT or CROP and you move the selection. Click on the selection with RECTANGLE SELECT and you confirm the selection Click on the selection with CROP and you crop the selection.
