     I thought that the current behavior is the way it was in R3.  That's
    one of the reasons why I didn't change it.  Do other people believe that his
    has changed?

Yes, it definitely did change from R3 initial release.  This was
a side-effect of a bug fix to the selection code for which I probably
was responsible.  The behaviour should definitely be restored to the
above description.
