Usually, I want to look at what I have selected because this is where I am working. I guess looking at what is being highlighted would also be just as useful.
Please correct me if I am wrong about this, but currently aim points at a combination of the selection plus whatever the cursor is hovering over. Herein lies the gripe. This can be very unhelpful. It would seem more logical to either aim at the selection, or the highlight, not the combination. This would give better control of the viewport in my opinion. I cannot think of a general case where aiming at selection+highlight is particularly helpful.
Anyway, I have always mapped select>selection groups>store selection/recall selection to hotkeys, so its just a single keystroke to save or recall the current selection. I use F4/F5 for this, so its not too bad, but still gripeworthy.
Also, I don't think you can turn smart selection off any more, so there is no longer much control over this behavior.
Anyway, just my 2 pfennigs. Keep up the good work.
