Description Remy Suen CLA 2011-03-29 14:38:52 EDT 
While windows without any parts probably isn't a very interesting shape, it is still possible to create such a thing. In this scenario, the ESS may not work properly because we rely solely on the active part for selection information. It should be possible to have a selection at the window level as-is.

Patch released to CVS HEAD.
Comment 3 Remy Suen CLA 2011-04-15 12:37:57 EDT 
While refactoring the code for bug 342998, I don't think this makes any sense as it creates confusion if someone tries to set the selection onto the window even though it has a selection (that being its active part's selection).

This is no longer a valid operation.
