I found during testing that cherry picking the two patches from above alone actually made another bug visible. Luckily that bug had also been fixed upstream already so anyway, therefore it's also necessary to pickup this bugfix from upstream:
http://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=526445

I've tested these three patches and they seem to work fine. I still see some regions not being invalidated when selecting and deselecting multiple rows at once but that issue is found both in the old ubuntu version of ghex and also in upstream. It's a separate bug.

Uploaded, thanks for your contribution. I made two very minor changes:
* You don't need to repeat the same bug number more than once in the changelog
* You need to update the maintainer in debian/control (run update-maintainer) to show that the package has been modified by Ubuntu.

Please also forward these patches to Debian (try the submittodebian tool in the ubuntu-dev-tools package)

Thanks!

Changed in ghex:
importance:	Undecided → Low
status:	New → Fix Committed
