Comment 6 for bug 1709149

OK, got all my versions straight again (ubuntu distro update disabled PPAs...) and this is still an issue.

The plugin I'm working simply saves current selection using IsSelected and restores it again with SetSelection. Interestingly I've also noticed calling IsSelected visually removes the selection while calling it again still returns True. But if I immediately press m expecting those modules to move, they don't. So some kind of selected limbo state.

The scripts I'm working on can be found here https://gitlab.com/morganrallen/kicad_scripts
