Identifying an holed polygon selects the whole area

[medspx]

When you identify a polygon with an hole, the selected area includes the hole.

Well it's just a detail but sometimes, you want to use the hole to see what is under the layer, under what you have identified.

Is there any special reason to not to use some similar behavior like it is done by 'Select' tool ?

Example: 1. Draw multi-polygon feature containing few holes. 2. Click on polygon using 'Identify' tool. Whole polygon including holes is highlighted. 3. Click on polygon using 'Select' tool. Exact polygon shape is highlighted (without holes)

I think, current behavior is quite confusing, when You have big polygons, containing holes where another polygons exists.

It is related to ticket #926 which was closed (although I feel it wasn't fixed). This behaviour is confusing because it is not possible to know if the polygon has a hole or not (and it is not consistent with the select tool).
