@Jon, I think Andrzej posted a patch to fix this on the dev mailing list. You might want to take a look at that before you fix this.

Andrzej's patches do not address this one unfortunately (but I did push them because they fix some other issues)

It so happens that I also have a patch for this issue :)
I did not send it earlier because vias selection worked this way for a long time, so I didn't consider this a bug worth fixing after feature freeze.

@Jon, if you haven't started working on this yet, you may consider attached patch.
