Bug nr. (choose a number) Bucket fill behaves strange with existing
selection
Bucket fill behaves different when a selection is active.
An other point is, that you can make the same thing setting the threshold to 255.
No, I think it doesn't make sense, as long as they are not shortcuts to the bucket fill tool.

The Bucket Fill settings are used when filling using drag-n-drop so
this can be considered an unconsistency.
A normal user can not unterstand why a selection from the menu uses a tool setting.
You are right here. There are a lot of options, and after all it's really gradient fill.

Ok, I think we have some points still open:
...
-fill with foreground/background color is usefull but does not really
integrate with the tools.
-bucket fill behaves not intuitive (and works to slow with threshold
set to 255)
-too many tools for filling
