I just had the same issue: I was working in two images - not saved yet, just copied from clipboard to Paint.net. Have done some editing to both, switching back and forth. Suddenly selection wouldn't work in one of them. Checked all the above, but nothing sticks out... When selecting, normally the bar at the bottom will register the coordinates of the mouse, in this case, nothing happens. Will proceed to save the image, close and reopen. But posting the requested screenshot of the application here for future debugging. 🙂

Hi, bit late response to a message from 2015, but I had the same problem. I understand that deleting means 'deleting', but when I move an object, I'd like to move it on the 'paper' (i/e the white background). I use Paint.net for creating and adjusting office plans, so if I move a desk, I'd like to leave white space behind and not go back in and fill it up. I resolved it by starting with a totally white background layer. But it still takes some playing around to find out what works best for this particular use. First I started with a basic floor plan and then create alternatives on layers on top. However, it bugged me that with each change I needed to have to go back in and whiten away pieces of the original shining through. So now I I prefer to copy the original floor plan, rename that into 'Plan date x', make the real original invisible, and then start playing around with new layer.
