It isn't selection, it just show that text not changed and will be removed

In FAR not changed text has gray on cyan color, and selected text is white on 
black.

I think, this is not useful, better make normal select/copy/cut/paste with 
common shortcuts like S-Arrows/C-Ins/S-Ins and C-c/C-v/etc.

I think, this in not a problem, because it is only cosmetic feature.
