Foreground Select tool

[wdr89113]

Yes it is exactly like the steps you showed up to the point after you click on select. At that point I get the result shown on my last image. I can't go beyond that because the foreground select , with the crawling ants, does not appear. I will report this a a possible bug. Thank you very much for responding.

I downloaded GIMP on my other computer which is running an older version of MAC OSX and it worked correctly.  I assume it has something to do with OSX Catalina on my computer.  I will report it as a bug.  

Thanks for your help.
