It was especally because the move tool, so selections don't get
"forgotten" that easily. Many different people complained about moving
around selections that they created some time ago but did not remember, so
making the last added thing the selection (like it is already done for
ways) keeps your selection "more recent".


However, note that I am still not happy with all this. The move mode will
be changed in the future and moving will only happen when you drag the
mouse over selected items. At the same time, it will be possible to select
from more other modes by just dragging a rectangle. This will make JOSM
more like, say, PowerPoint and less like XFig.



Ciao, Imi
