Hi

Your suggestion makes sense so I've reopened the bug report and closed
it as FIXED with the following commited to trunk, rev 27048:

2008-09-24  Martin Nordholts  <martinn at svn.gnome.org <mailto:martinn at svn.gnome.org>>

        Bug 549925 <http://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=549925> – incorrect math: adding/substracting empty selection
        deselects selection

        * app/tools/gimprectangleselecttool.c
        (gimp_rectangle_select_tool_execute): Be more intuitive when
        clicking outside the current selection for the selection modes Add
        and Subtract. More specifically, don't alter the selection mask at
        all.

Best regards,
Martin Nordholts
