Comment (by lutra):

 > Ouch.  That isn't any different from what I said before.  I meant to say
 that you don't get an automatic highlight.


 ok :) as a fact I was puzzled...



 > And again I speak about the selection in the identify results.  The
 feature selection of the vector layer doesn't have anything to do with the
 identify tool.


 ok again



 > From my view the highlight is only necessary, if you're unsure what you
 clicked on, otherwise it should be quite clear.


 This is where I disagree. But is just my opinion. I would find more useful
 to see the features automatically highlighted when clicked with the
 identify tool. I would like also to see *all* the features automatically
 highlighted in case the identify tools get more than one.



 Please have a look also to the above

 "''Moreover I see the following: If I'm using the identify tool and I have
 an highlighted feature when I activate to the "select feature" tool (by
 clicking the icon in the toolbar), then the highlighted feature is
 immediately... un-highlighted.''"

 to me this a small bug.
