Clicking on a selected item wouldn't reset the selection anymore.

Before commit 88ecc8c8250505129ccff2660c60412996e2fd85, this case was handled
during the mouse release event, but was responsible for selections being made
twice sometimes. We now check whether a selection actually happened during
the mouse press event. If not, we will try to select again during the mouse
release event. Auto-test included.
