not really a bug but strange...

GIMP 2.8.* dev from git.

Some weird behaviour...

1)Rect select tool

2)Image menu->Select->All

3)(You _have_ to) Clic on the image (to see the selection ... why?)

4)Appears for a moment a void selection and then, if you move on the image border, at least you see the selection hadlers

Is it all correct? Is it a "feature"? If it is, why?

Ubuntu 12.04 amd64...

Because the selection is an arbitrary shape, it changes to something that might or might not be a rectangle. Also, you didn't activate the tool yet.

This is all correct.

If I clic & drag I understand... but I have just made a clic to select the selection ... I _have_ to do it to make the handlers appear ... but I am wondering: why to show an empty selection and then show (but just if I move the mouse on the borders) the handlers?

Also, you didn't activate the tool yet.

I activate the tool (rect select) before the selection. If I activate the tool again after the selection the behaviour is just the same.

Please try and then tell me ...
