This seems reasonable to me - we don't want "disable" the selection 
radio button
and prevent the user from selecting it since our API does support it as 
an option.
The way I first read the bug report was that it implied that the first 
invocation
when the selection button was disabled was "right" and the 2nd invocation
was "wrong" whereas it seems the other way around.

If the updated code (and my understanding) is correct then should we
not in fact be updating getSelectAttrib() so that it never returns 
PD_NOSELECTION,
rather than "fixing it up" in this code ?

Of course you then need to look to see how we interpret & use a
return value of PD_NOSELECTIONfrom getSelectAttrib() on OS X and Linux.

I would really like to get Jennifer's input on this.
