Clicking the select tool highlights identify results

[chughes-lincoln]

If you have identify highlight set to false for a layer, and select highlight set to true, clicking the select tool after an identification highlights all previous results (assuming you didn't clear your results after the identify)

i.e. Turn on pipelines in the demo. Identify a pipeline which doesn't highlight the result because it's set to false. Click Select and the pipeline highlights before you do a selection.

Is this a bug or a feature?

For example, wanting to buffer the feature you just identified?

[chughes-lincoln]

I would say a bug. If the admin wants users to be able to buffer identify results they can just set identify highlight to on.

With the identify tool you also often have several different datasets that are identifiable at once, with often overlapping geometries. Having all these results be highlighted when the user isn't expecting them can be confusing and doesn't provide much value. Clicking the correct result that you want to buffer can also be impossible.

Example below of how it looks with a surveys dataset:

This appears to also impact search (identify then search) which is certainly not a feature :)

I'm wondering about stop-gap measures like invoking a clear results in the beginning of search, select, etc. Hmm, that would also clear results from search or select results that are intended.

This also impacts measure (identify then measure).
