i am using gimp and every stupid time i need to cut a new part on the picture it does not cut(when i select the new cut area the rest of the image is gone and only the cut part stays).  also when i deselect the cutting tool what i cut out comes back.  only thing i can think of out of this simple so simple it pisses me off solution is to save the pic each time i need a new cut

I'm not really sure what you are asking. You can add and remove parts of selected area with Ctrl++ and Ctrl+-. What tool you are even using?

Just don't use the cut tool, it's garbage.

Use any of the other selection tools, like the magic wand, rectangle selector, etc. And add/subtract a piece of the selection according to what you need. Than once you got what you need, do Ctrl+x to cut and do Ctrl+v on another layer to paste.
