Comment (by gislab):

 If this is not a bug, it is definitely not user friendly. Why is this
 working on the extent while other tools do not? This is definitely a handy
 mode, but, like "work on selected" should be optional and switchable, not
 default. User might not understand that he needs to Zoom to full extent.
