[Gimp-user] How do I get the lasso tool to stop adding lines?

["Dora Smith" <villandra24 austin rr com>]

I draw a loop with the lasso, and I can cut or copy and then paste what I selected.

Only problem, the lasso tool continues to draw lines all over the image, and I can’t get it to turn off.  How 
does one turn it off.

I understand you’re supposed to be able to hold down the shift key and select a separate area – but it also 
selects a line between them, and the line may cut one of the two selections in half!

I’m having this problem in both Ubuntu and Windows 7.   And I’m having it with ALL of the freehand selection 
tools, not just one of them.
