rectangular aspect ratio
#4
Usually as Ofnuts post, there is a mis-match between vertical and horizontal resolutions in the picture you downloaded.
but
There should be plenty of indications pointing to that Image size. The way the thumbnails look.... 

For Gimp 2.8 Some things to check

Have you been messing with View -> Dot-for-Dot? Smile You can get something like this:

   

With Dot-for-Dot off the image looks correct. Except for the image size which does not. 
The selection looks like a square, aspect ratio is 1:1, fixed is ticked. No good doing this after the selection is made, do it before. However the giveaway is the size in the tool options.
You can check sizes and resolutions in the image properties Image -> Image Properties

Copy then Paste into a different image. 99% probability this will have Dot for Dot ON and a resolution with H and V equal.

   

Shift-T invokes the scale tool in Gimp 2.8 You can break the link between Width and Height and set equal values.

Gimp is a raster editor, a pixel is a pixel and in Gimp copied / pasted pixels take the properties from the destination image.
