Using tool_settings.use_mesh_automerge causes selection issues, specifically in edge select mode, with two or more consecutive/parallel loops selected. Blender will select ring edges after transform operations. See: [Imgur](http://i.imgur.com/9dZu5Ke.png)
**Exact steps for others to reproduce the error**
New scene > Subdivide default cube > Select two or more loops (should be parallel, should not be separated by another loop) > G/R/S/etc the selection > Note selection has been extended as if changed to vert mode and back.
