 I’m trying to add to a Quick Mask using white as both foreground and 
background colours. White is supposed to add to the mask. But it keeps 
removing the mask. In other words, using a white brush deletes that part
 of the mask and reveals the image underneath when it should be covering
 it up. v. 2.8.16

When using QuickMask, right-click on it and you can configure whether it should highlight the masked 
(selected) or unmasked areas; set it to whichever method works best for you.

Nonetheless, the underlying operation of QuickMask is the same: white = selected and black = not.
