I do not know whether it is intentional or not but I guess it is.
As long as you are able to resize the first selection it is in fact not 
created. The selecting tool is engaged making the selection. Trying to 
create another selection will therefore close the former attempt.

If the selection is finished it is another task. The tool is ready for 
another job.
Try: Create a selection in image one. Click another tool in the toolbox. 
Then move to image two, activate the selection tool again and create a 
new selection. The selection in image one is still there.
