PcbNew: Select/Expand Connection can be used only once on the same segment

Description

The function Select/Expand Connection can be used only once on the same segment. When the segment is selected and function used for the fist time after opening the Pcbnew, the 'U' (Select/Expand Connection) correctly selects the track. If the same segment is selected later the Select/Expand Connection does not work.

Steps to reproduce

  1. select segment of track 1
  2. use Select/Expand Connection (now it works)
  3. select segment of different net
  4. use Select/Expand Connection (now it works)
  5. select the same segment as in step 1
  6. use Select/Expand Connection (it doesn't work)
  7. select the same segment as in step 3
  8. use Select/Expand Connection (it doesn't work)
