Description
New description:
it seems that there are gis packages (at least the most famous one) that does not refresh the canvas when selecting features. This has a quite important impact when working with large vectors.
It would be good at some point to have qgis behave the same.

Umm... what is wrong with it? :-) Map canvas has to be refreshed when the selection changes because the selected features have to be drawn with different color (symbol). All previous versions of QGIS do that (it just wasn't that obvious because the GUI would just freeze)

I'm not sure how we could fix this. Could we do something different for selection rather then re-render the feature?

Couldn't this be solved by showing selected features using the same technique as is used for the Identify tool? When I click on a feature with Identify the canvas is not redrawn and a line simply appears on top of the feature. Is there a technical reason for why that approach wouldn't work for feature selection?
