Bug Description
Request for enhancement.
Cleanup tracks and vias function would be much more appealing if it selected objects as opposed to just going ahead and deleting them. That way, I could inspect everything before deleting.
Rationale: I found myself wanting to use Edit->Cleanup tracks and vias but going through lots of motions just to verify what it did. The board is complicated enough that the automation is very helpful, but also unexpected results would be devastating.

Better yet have it work like Update PCB from Schematic where it automatically does the dry-run and then asks if you want to apply it.
