I'm having a weird behavior when trying to move a selected rectangle or polygon in a layer.
I do the next:

1. Select layer.

I want to move the shine that belongs to the brillos y manchas layer:

2. Select rectangle or polygon.

The selection is the small polygon.

3. Then I try to move the selection:

but it's not moved.

The first that came into my head is that the shine didn't belong to that layer, but it does. Any idea on what I am doing wrong?

The "Move selection" in the Move tools is about moving the selection mask, not the selected pixels.

Right after you have made a selection, you can Alt-Ctrl-drag and this will make a floating selection automatically and start moving it. However, this is a cut/paste and not a copy/paste, so it will leave a "hole" in the source layer.

Your move tool is set to move the selection, not the area selected by.

You should:

Transform your selection to a float selection using Select->Float
In the move tool options choose to move Layer instead to Selection (by pressing the first icon near "Mover" in "Opciones de herramienta")

Now, it should be possible to move the shine.
