It could be either the case you mention - it selects based on
category, in that case I believe there is already a ticket for this. I
think this should be fairly easy to do if I remember the code
correctly, it has been on my TODO for some time, but can't work on it
now.
Also, it can select multiple features if they are close (within a
distance from click).
As for the category, you can use v.category to delete all categories
and add them back, but it doesn't preserve the links to attribute
data.
