Clicking Paths Tool, the paths menu listst a few options, one of it being ‘Selection from Path’ (grayed out if no image open, but unimportant now). By hovering with the mouse, a tooltip says this:
Path to Selection
Shift Add
Ctrl Subtract
Shift+Ctrl Intersect
(according to the .po file the strings are under app/tools/gimpvectoroptions)
My question is – is this the correct tooltip ? The first sentence of the tooltip seems as if it were meant to be the other way around.

I don’t see the problem. In my version (3.1.3) I see this which is slightly different:
(in 2.10, the wording is essentially the same, with “path” singular since you can only have one selected path)
The first line says that the area delimited by the path becomes/replaces the selection, while the others say that the same area is either added to, subtracted from or intersected with the selection. In all four cases the area delimited by the path is used to alter the selection.
Both mean the same, don’t they?
I have a path and create a selection from it.
Um… you are right, for some reason I was confused between the meanings, probably due to the proximity between the strings “Selection from Path” vs. “Selection to Path” while translating (there are several occurences there, including singular/plural variations).
Thank you for putting me on the right path 
I think the name was changed in the past and probably not updated in all places. To me it would make sense to use the same name on the button and tooltip as this can cause confusion. Opening an issue in our tracker would be a good idea.
