If a canvas selection is editor is done, Saving the image do not save selection instead full image.

It's not a bug. It's work like this. No other tool work like this. This is not a dysfunction. It's your whish to see that working in this way.

My tip : crop to selection and save image using a new version. You don't lose original.
