What about it?  There was no mention of that in your original report.

I have no idea, as on my system secondary selections simply don't
work.  I guess someone else will have to find the way of deselecting
without starting a new selection, if one exists.  And if it doesn't
exist, I will simply remove that text, so that docs match the reality.
