I have Gimp 2.10.14 and running on Mac OSX Catalina
I am having an issue with the foreground select tool as well. I am new to Gimp but fairly experienced with selections and masks, etc from Photoshop. If I use a simple drawing, by simple I mean a square with a circle in the middle, two different colors, I can get the tool to work beautiful....IE rough select around the circle, enter to display the the rough background make, paint the foreground roughly, preview the proposed mask then enter or select to apply. The circle has the little crawling ant, just as it is supposed to.
When I try to do this on an opened jpg file, the result is not the same. I have added an alpha channel, etc. This image shows the mask (light green) after the final steps prior to applying the mask and with Preview selected. It is a little rough I know but shows what I have done.
If I select ENTER (Return on the MAC) or Click on Select in the Mask Preview Window, this is the result:
Any help is greatly appreciated. I have tried this multiple times. (many multiple times on different png and jpeg ) and the result is the same.
