Also, we need to keep the sister bug 1140617 in mind. In bug 1140617 comment #8 Ehsan said:

To me, it's just a three line change, and if you want, with a test case. Obviously none of the other tests checks the selection after the click, so I can certainly add such a test following your suggestions.

However, before I start, I want to make 100% sure that we're all on the same page. I have the impression that Ehsan has something grander in mind.
