Package: Installer from gimp.org
Description of the bug
Whenever I use any of the select tools to highlight any part of any image, it starts blacking out parts of the screen and within a few seconds, I cannot see any of what I
have selected. The only temporary fix is to change the view by either zooming in/out or scrolling up/down but it starts to then black out parts of the screen again.
Reproduction
Is the bug reproducible? Always
Reproduction steps:
- Select either: Rectangle Select Tool, Ellipse Select Tool, Free Select Tool, Fuzzy Select Tool or Select by Colour Tool.
- Click on any part of the image.

Expected result: Selects whatever you wanted to be selected
Actual result: Selects what you want to be selected but you are unable to see it.
Additional information
I am able to undo this issue normally by deselecting everything. Although, this doesn't help me get work done as I need to select things to edit them...
