Bug 397461

using Windows build eb073ef. 

I knew vector selections were always quite finicky, but I think they they are not working now after the change to SVG in 4.0. An example of creating a vector selection.

Steps. 
1. create a vector layer
2. Select the rectangle selection tool
2. in the tool options change the selection mode to vector
3. A selection is created
4. change to the shape selection tool and try to select the vector selection

Expected result:
The vector selection would be selected

Actual result:
The selection is not selected


I am not sure but I think that vector selection are actually just creating pixel selections.I am not sure what our long term solution is for selections. We either just need to disable vector selections for now, or figure out how we want to support them if we do keep them.

Maybe it is just me not remembering how to use these correctly.
