no way of doing this with the graphic tool open, if I select using the

I think there is a slight misunderstanding on what export selection does
in the graphics tool: You don't export a "passage" but a part of the
page. You select the area you want to export by double-clicking and
dragging a selection frame (at least on Mac), and then choosing export
selection. The frame should be showing on the page, otherwise you have
not selected anything yet.
That is the same on the Windows side of things -- I found
that it's the "double-click-and-drag" that gets people into
trouble. It is important not to let up on the mouse button
after that second click, but immediately start dragging to
enclose what you want to export. As Johannes says, if the
frame (the box with the dotted line) isn't showing up after
you let up on the mouse button, then you haven't actually
selected anything.
