It may be confusing for you, for me it's an excellent feature. If you select regions the Emacs way (C-SPC), you get traditional Emacs behaviour. If you do it the traditional GUI way (Shift-arrows), you get traditional GUI behaviour (deselect on unshifted arrow). > There is no rhyme or reason to this behavior.

No, you're not. If you are so bent to changing, fix the documentation.
