As mentioned, the "square" of which you are speaking is simply a graphical corner handle (16x16 screen pixels, regardless of actual zoom level) and is NOT an actual part of the selection - you can still create selections all the way down to 0x0 in size with no loss of functionality.
But I do agree that it is an unexpected distraction and - possibly - a bug. Selection handles have a minimum size of 16x16 screen pixels; if the selection is smaller than 48x48 (in screen pixels) then GIMP renders the handles in an outset manner (larger areas render inset handles). However, when you click-and-drag to create a selection you may notice that the selection handles are drawn in an outset manner when you initially click, but suddenly switch to inset the moment you begin dragging. -- Stratadrake strata_ranger hotmail com -------------------- Numbers may not lie, but neither do they tell the whole truth.

Why does there need to be a square? Why can't the selection start from a zero dimension point instead of a predefined rectangle? It's disorientating if you're drawing a selection that is smaller than the rectangle, for example.
