Description
There was a change in 4.8.0 - selection block is no more reset and editor remains in the selection mode after pressing CK_Store (Ctrl-Ins). I.e. if you start selecting a block using F3 and then just press Ctrl-Ins without pressing F3 again, you'll remain in selection mode, and if you go somewhere after it, the block changes.
I think it should be either reset as in previous versions, or at least the selection mode should be finished.
Why this was changed in 4.8.0 at all?

P.S: this happens when "Persistent selection" option is on.

4.7.5 have same behaviour. Also, selection remained with block copy operation too, like:
- start test selection by pressing F3
- press F5 for copy selection
- continue selection (selection isn't interrupted).
Is this broken?

4.7.5 maybe, I didn't test it...
I don't really understand how can you copy selection with F5 while remaining in selection mode?
I.e. you can, but only to the position of selection end.
If you move the cursor into another place, the selection will also be changed and you won't copy what you want.
