Still unhappy with moderation of geda-user. 
Why? Because it is completely intransparent.

Subject: [PATCH] More accurate description of Select() and Unselect() action

Unlike the menu and the texi manual suggest, Select(Connection) does not check 
for connectivity. Instead, it acts on visible objects with the found flag set.
In addition, the select() and unselect() actions act only on objects in visible
layers. This patch changes the menu and the texi documentation accordingly.
