Selection Behaviour With Undo

Author	Undoing move operations with large selections leads to insanity

I can understand removing the parent and child lines from the selection, because they are attached to their respective individuals and family lines regardless of movements made with them. What isn't so clear is why family lines that were not a part of the original selection get selected with the Undo. I understand that they get selected if they were changed by the movement, but this really makes a mess of things when trying to adjust the placement of a large family group, as the work required to ensure that all family lines not originally selected remain unselected often far outweighs the efficiency of moving multiple objects in the first place. If the Y co-ordinate of a family line does not change as the result of a move and only parents or children of it are selected (not both), then the family line should not be selected after the user performs an Undo. I may have commented on this behaviour before, but my searching did not find anything else on the subject. GenoPro: Best. Genealogy. Software. Ever.
