Thanks for the report,

I am pretty sure that is on purpose, it is only called for custom selection tools
Rseding91 might have some clearer insight as to the why,
But for now this is working as intended

I'll look into the reason why I made it work that way and see about changing it.
From: viewtopic.php?f=28&t=48731

So maybe move it to minor/known issues? (Unless Rseding already decided it's not a bug)

I know a deconstruction planner is not a selection tool (type).

I don't care if it's that type.
I would just like it to trigger the event :D
