Select-and-search is buggy - very buggy - and has been since I added it to
EE:CS. (At least I think it was me - maybe I just broke David Cuny's
existing code).

The xle.e code can be a nightmare - if it was simpler, there'd be an 'undo'
feature as well as a bug-free search algorithm.

Having a full-time job does tend to reduce free time; There were a bunch of
feature ideas to add in time for the release of Eu2.3. Since Eu2.4 is upon
us, you should be able to tell what kind of timescale is attached to any
updates to EE:CS.

Be careful with, or just don't use select-and-search. :(
