Problem pasting quickmask

When I use Quick Mask for masking an area that I want to
copy and paste, then go to standard edit mode, I see the
marching ants, so far so good, except when I paste the Image
into another image it's looks too be about 25% transparent.
If I use lasso tool too do same thing, no problem, no
transparency..

What's happening? I've reloaded the program twice now,
problem still exists.

Is there a setting I'm not using correctly, it used too work OK.

Thank you,
Jedo

Hi Jedo

Check this first: look in the tool options bar and make sure the brush mode is set to Normal and the opacity and flow are set to 100%. Anything else could give you a semi-transparent selection.
