...a dynamic mouse-click result like it is in virtually every other graphics editing application I use/have used in the past/will use in the future?
I understand the usefulness of a "Show Selection" -- even GIMP 2.6 has that on all platforms -- but it sometimes gets me scratching my head why I can't just 'click out in deadspace' to hide or even eliminate a selection. Seldom do I find the "Hide Selection" or Ctrl-D key combination truly useful. I'd like to know what the reasoning behind it was: maybe then I can glom on to its usefulness.
