--- Comment #2 from Ahab Greybeard <ahab.greybe...@hotmail.co.uk> ---
I can confirm this for the Jan 28th 4.3.0 prealpha appimage git(049dd11)

The contiguous selection tool and the similar colour selection tool both do a
binary (alpha equals 0  or alpha not equal to 0) selection with a gradient on a
transparent background.

For the contiguous selection tool, a workaround for this is to put a
contrasting solid colour layer under the gradient-on-transparent layer and then
use the tool with limit to current layer turned off.

That workaround does not work for the similar colour selector tool. You have to
merge a copy of the gradient with a contrasting filled layer and use it on that
to get a selection that is correct and controllable.

There have been other previous concerns about how pixels with alpha less than 1
are treated so this may be one of those situations.
