[Qgis-developer] Minor Irritations

[Marco Hugentobler]

Hi Micha

You had to press the alt-key to include all intersected features (otherwise 
only the included were selected). I reversed that in r14476 this morning, now 
it selects the intersecting features if no key is pressed.

But for the rest, I really like the new selection tools.

Regards,
Marco
