Select by location works only within current extent.

Is this actually a bug?

I mean, maybe it was not on purpose, but it can be pretty handy as "feature". After all to work as it is supposed you just need to make a zoom to the full extent of the location you want to use to select features...

If this is not a bug, it is definitely not user friendly. Why is this working on the extent while other tools do not? This is definitely a handy mode, but, like "work on selected" should be optional and switchable, not default. User might not understand that he needs to Zoom to full extent.
