Description of the Issue
Since Scintilla 5.5.5, the selection for each action can be saved and then restored when undo or redo is performed.
SCI_SETUNDOSELECTIONHISTORY controls this.
Describe the solution you'd like.
Set SCI_SETUNDOSELECTIONHISTORY to 1 (SC_UNDO_SELECTION_HISTORY_ENABLED) by default. It's the default behaviour in every other editor.
