Why cannot we allow the user to select something other that he/she
already selected?

If they don't want to change the selection, they can easily choose
some other item from the menu, cannot they?

IOW, I don't think I understand why you see a bug here, or why this
enhancement would be a significant improvement.  Can you explain more?
