Filter applying in Multi-Selection uses maximal enclosing "surface"

[Stdedos]

Replicate with:

* Select two non-intersecting regions (maximum effect if those regions are selected to be diagonally across each other)
* Apply a random filter e.g. Effects > Blurs > Fragment

Expected Result:
* Preview accurately reflects the end result (i.e. only the two selected areas are blurred)

Actual Result:
* Preview "creates a rectangle that encompasses all regions", and previews the filter application in it.

Note that, the end result of accepting the effect is correct (i.e. only the marked arreas are altered)

Yeah, it looks like effects are just applied to the entire bounding box of the selection
