GIMP Copying Problem

Hi

I just started using GIMP the other day so I'm still getting to grips with everything but anyway here's the problem:

I'm using the rectangular selection tool to select an area of a layer to copy. However when I try and paste the copied area it just pastes the thing I copied last.

Basically it seems that it's either not copying the new selection correctly or it's stuck pasting the old image from the clipboard.

Anyone have any idea what I could be doing wrong?

Cheers.

It seems to me that I saw behavior like this when I was working with a layer which had multiple layers, and the layer which was active was not the layer that was visible, and there was no content in the part of the layer that was active which was selected.
