[Gimp-user] Selection handles on a non freshly created selection

[Sophoklis Goumas <olspookishmagus gmail com>]

Hello!

Right after one makes a selection, say by using the Rectangle Select
Tool, is presented with handles that allow altering the selection.

If one then selects another tool without deselecting is being deprived
of these handles while the selection remains active thus rendering him
unable to alter the selection in that fashion.

Thus forming my question: is there a way to make these handles to
(re-)appear on a non-freshly created selection?
