GNOME Bugzilla – Bug 110515
Selection shrinks by one pixel

draw a horizontal line. They draw a rectangular selection such that a right or bottom border just barely covers the edge of the line and let up on the mouse. The selection will shrink one pixel to the left and one pixel up.
Sorry, but your bug-report is confusing to say the least. Could you please describe what you mean when you say "draw a horizontal line" and how it relates to the selection.
By, "draw a horizontal line" I mean, use some kind of edge in the image to detect the effect. I used a horizontal line. You can also use the edge of the image. Drag your rectangular selection such that is just barely encompasses your reference edge. Then let up on the mouse, and you will notice that your selection will have jumped one pixel so that is no longer touches your reference edge. You can spot the bug without drawing a line, but drawing the line makes it easier.
