How to Copy and Paste a Selection of a Layer

It shows some possibilities:
The control points of the select tool are showing so the selection is not fixed. Use one of the methods discussed previously.
The highlight option is on, that will vanish when the selection is fixed, it does not mean that the selection is gone.
The active layer is the bottom layer of three. The top layers are hiding the select or cut operation.

Another 40 second animation of a similar setup: https://i.imgur.com/nCZez67.mp4 This time using "select another tool" to fix the selection.

Also: A useful plugin for adjusting Gimp menu text and dock icons: http://gimpchat.com/viewtopic.php?f=11&t...10#p261235 Sizing your Tool box icons are still in edit -> Preferences

Yes sorry the icons shrunk when I reset the options and I had to lower the resolution to upload the image.
How do I enlarge the icons again?
Also, my 3 layers are adjacent and not on top of one another.
The crawling ants border never shows up. Should I change the highlight settings?
