(Get the code!)
The attached patch adds an offset, so that if the markY insertion point values of the selected items range between A and B originally, the layer-flipped items will range between B and A.
When flipping a single item, this means it stays at exactly the same coordinates as before, instead of moving halfway across the board. This is a big win for convenience.
When flipping a group of items, they stay roughly in the same area.
In a small fraction of cases, if components are near the board edge, it is possible that a portion of some outer components will be flipped off the board edge - however, the mark point will always be on-board, so it can be easily moved. The whole selection "snaps" back to the PCB when you move it anyway. I do not think this is a problem. It is still more convenient than having the whole selection move halfway across the PCB.
