Things to look for:
In Gimp 3 colorize is a layer effect (fx) If you have that fx against the layer try again with the merge filter box ticked.
Used to be that some higher bit depths 16 / 32 bit affected transparency. I think all that is fixed now but check.

Sorry it took me a while to get back to you. I thought I'd try to colorize by adding a layer and setting the whole new layer to a color and set it to some level of transparency and then merge the two layers and save it.

That seems to work so I continued to do that for the series of images.

I've kind of been tied up with other things and forgot how I had selected the areas and set the background to alpha and colored the selected areas though. I thought I wrote down how I did and and found it in my earlier post.

I'll try playing around with your suggestion too.

If the problem persist please attach an XCF (cropped a bit and/or saved with full compression to fit a 2MB size).
