Layers are not necessarily at the 0,0 position of the canvas. The
selection however is. So you need to take that difference into account.

A selection is not binary. 255 means selected, 0 means not selected, 100
means "partially selected".

this returns the bounding box, All pixels outside are *not* selected,
there may be not selected pixels inside.

When reading the pixels from a drawable the selection does not affect
the result. You always get the correct result (under the assumption that
you do read correctly...)
Hope this helps,
