[patch] Drag selection does not work when releasing mouse button over the middle of a segment

[Don-vip]

When a rectangle is dragged with the left mouse button to select something, nothing is selected if the mouse button is released over the middle of a segment (i.e., the cross). Instead, the only visible change concerns the cursor.

I can verify this in Windows.

Here’s a patch that fixes the problem for me. Due to selectAction being very fragile I’m not going to check this in until after the new stable version has been released.

Please remind me or check in the patch yourself if I forget to.

In [4562/josm]:

fix #7018 - Drag selection does not work when releasing mouse button over the middle of a segment - CAUTION: regressions possible, report problems

[Don-vip]

Replying to stoecker:

CAUTION: regressions possible, report problems

I think #7100 is a direct regression of this patch.
