Apart from anything else, the manner for selecting and deselecting units and stacks is not consistent.

To deselect a stack you right-click on it, yet to deselect a unit you left-click on it! Right-clicking on a unit instead brings up the unit information screen. It would be logical and elegant if a right-click deselected, the same as with a stack. A double left-click could be used for bringing up the unit information screen.

Dear WITE interface "lovers", we hear you.

I'm almost done with code which would allow "better" way of unit selection. As part of it in new beta you may find that unit selection is restored after attack.

More difficult part is to support partial selection and unit shuffling in the stack, but it also almost done. Still some issues remain and due to the complexity it is not even in beta versions.

Another feature will be that, when particular unit type filter is enabled, appropriate units will be placed on the top of stack:
