Gimp 2.10 does work in slightly different ways to Gimp 2.8 Use these old videos to give you ideas that you can apply to your work. Gimp has a steep learning curve. Nobody becomes an expert overnight. Just keep trying and you will get there.
My guess is you are using the bucket fill tool, and still using it after you kill the selection. Could be wrong, but running through the procedure.
Make an elliptical (circular) selection. screenshot https://i.imgur.com/rKmSO9A.jpg
To get out of that and leave the active selection, various choices
Hit the Enter key or Choose another tool
So, choose the bucket fill and click in the selection. https://i.imgur.com/vIDQGe9.jpg
Choose another tool. Now kill the selection Select -> None https://i.imgur.com/Ft2kmIv.jpg
