Cut or copy selection copies the whole content of the layer, not the selection I've specified using the rectangle selection tool

Description
When working with the base image, I use rectangle selection tool to select an area, and use the Cut or Copy tool, it works as expected and only copies or cuts that area.
But when I try to do the same in a layer, instead of only copying or cutting the area from the layer, it copies or cuts the whole layer, making it nigh impossible to work with layers using cutting and copying.
Interestingly enough, this does not happen immediately when I've created a new layer, but after a while when I've worked with it for some time.
