If you save a .kra project while a portion of the canvas is selected, then reload the file, the selection marquee will not be there. There is no visual feedback of the actual seelction. (If you add to the "invisible" selection with the selection tools, the marquee shown will be the new one, even when the entire selection has grown. Using Deselect will clear the selection as expected.) Reproducing this bug is straightforward: 1- Create a new file 2- Select a portion of the canvas 3- Save the file as .kra, and close it 4- Load the file again 5- Note there is no marquee on screen. 6- Draw with the brush. It will only draw in the part that was selected earlier.
