Most selection tools have an anti-aliasing feature which improves the 
visual quality of the selection's edge pixels, but it also means that if you're
 doing a cut and paste, there may be bits and traces of color left 
behind in areas that you would expect to have nothing left.  Try 
switching the selectors' antialising off and see if this improves your 
results.
