This fix brings a little of confusion on people used to the old behavior:

- [Moving selection still not working](https://community.aseprite.org/t/moving-selection-still-not-working/507)
- [Issues with selection :: Aseprite General Discussion](https://steamcommunity.com/app/431730/discussions/0/1519260397777857938/?tscn=1506631798)
- [Occasionally Cannot Move Selections #1584](https://github.com/aseprite/aseprite/issues/1584)

Anyway I think that the new behavior is better for editing (adding/subtracting) selection portions (and almost a must for the Magic Wand).

EDIT: I’m going to restore the previous behavior for the Add selection mode and a new option to switch the behavior.
