What HAVE I done??

I have been blissfully GIMPing away ... and all of a sudden when I try to delete/erase/make transparent a selection it instead fills the selection with the foreground colour.

Anyone have idea what I've done and how to fix it?

TIA

Ctrl-Z comes to mind...

I suspect you are in an image mode without transparency (alpha) layer. Add it and cutouts should be transparent.

Right click on the layer you're working on select "Add Alpha Transparency"

No, alas, that did not make any difference.

As per previous reply, that was not it.

That said I've re-installed GIMP ... and we seem to be o.k. again.

Bit of a puzzler!
