Hey, #GIMP using friends: I have either discovered a bug, or I am fatfingering myself into a mode over and over again.

Every time I switch to a selection tool (oval, rectangle, lasso), I somehow end up in SUBTRACT mode, and have to mouse over to the tool options panel and click the "Replace" button.

I have never, ever consciously switched this tool to subtract mode, which leads me to suspect that I am fatfingering it back into this mode somehow.

@pluralistic Seems a pretty old bug: https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/gimp/-/issues?sort=created_date&state=opened&search=subtractive+mode&first_page_size=20&show=eyJpaWQiOiIyNDYiLCJmdWxsX3BhdGgiOiJHTk9NRS9naW1wIiwiaWQiOjM3MjI4fQ%3D%3D

@lexLohr Huh. Weird that this only started manifesting for me with Gimp 3.

@pluralistic I remember this issue from an earlier version of the 2.x line a decade ago; Maybe it is a regression.
