Selection ratio: Problem with "Same as image"

When using a selection ratio which is same as image (Edit > Selection Ratio > Same as image or key 'D'), and then swapping selection ratio by pressing Tab key, the ratio will not swap. Instead, the selection just grows. (Bug)

The problem occurs also when you have a custom selection ratio set and want to switch width and height around. I teach others in the use of XnView so I had to find a workaround. One way is to create a custom selectin SIZE that is the opposite orientation (vertical) from the custom selection RATIO (horizontal).
Because not everybody tinkers with a program's settings, I preset settings in my friends' XnView installation by including a copy of xnview.ini where userselratioX and userselratioY and selectionwidth selectionheight are set.
When choosing a HORIZONTAL selection ratio, we choose the custom selection ratio. When choosing a VERTICAL selection ratio of the same ratio, we choose the custom selection size.
At least until the next version...
