Summary0023436: Selecting a new group or ship doesn't completely clear the previous selection
Descriptionwhenever I make a selection be it with a hotkey, left clicking a single ship or dragging a box over a group the previous selection doesn't clear. A random amount from my previous selection stays on my new selection despite not holding down any other key.

I have to spam left click on clear space to clean my previous selection or keep selecting the same group I want over and over again until none from the previous one remain. Frankly it makes the game near unplayable as I have to micromanage every single fleet to make sure It didn't keep a previous fleet selected. just 2 fleets become a nightmare to handle.
Didn't happen before a recent small(like 5 mb) update. Doesn't seem to be consistent at all, a little under half the ships in the previous selection remain until slowly only one remains.

Reverting to 2.101 (most_recent_stable in Steam) fixes it

Also, steps to reproduce:
1. Start new game
2. Select few ships
3. Unselect them (just click on empty space)
4. Booom! Half of your ships is still selected

@Burner glad I'm not going crazy or had some setting wrong lol. Thanks for that tip, reverting versions fixed the bug.

To add to the bug report:
-I tried it on an old campaign that I won before the hotfix came out and it happened in the new version
-Also happened in a new campaign

Thanks! This will be out in the next hour at the latest.

* Previously, the game was using a standard List<> object for keeping track of selected ships, and that sometimes ran into inefficiencies and cross-threading issues.
** In the prior build, we tried to fix some of those cross-threading issues, but wound up making things not actually deselect properly.
** To fix all of the above, we've now switched to the much more flexible and robust ArcenLessLinkedList<> object, and adjust the code to handle this. This is both more efficient (not that efficiency is a major problem here), and does not fall victim to the various cross-threading woes that the old style could.
** And, naturally, as part of that, this also resolves the frankly infuriating selection issues in the most recent build of the game. Sorry about that one!
