Sorry. But again I need some help. I was just using the "fuzzy select" tool not too long ago and it was selecting correctly. Now it selects in rectangle ish shapes. I don't know if I pressed something by mistake. I tried to resolve this by playing around with the "Aspect" etc. Though I'm not an expert in that I admit. I tried closing out the program and restarting it too. Anybody got any suggestions? :)

Make sure "Sample Merged" option is untick or uncheck. See if that helps

I checked it and it was unchecked, unfortunately.

try moving the threshold up a little. Not too much though as the higher it is the more colours it will select

^ I couldn't get it to work right still trying that. Thanks. I think it may have been because I colored some things first and that's why. I didn't start out right away using the wand. :(

Make sure you don't have the 'subtract selection' :subsel in options selected. I have been caught by this one.
If your colours are not solid they will 'fade out' at the edge needing more threshold or :addcur adding another selection.
