  Additional Closure Information:
  .
  Technical explanation of the defect:
  The undo history of Swap visible space cannot be flushed by
  the Flush or Flush All. This problem came from shared
  commands (like Swap Visible Space command) executed during
  the default Select command life cycle. The way the Select
  command was committed once interrupted by another exclusive
  command was wrong and the shared commands stayed in the Undo
  stack  which is not the correct behavior , moreover it is in
  a non-purge-able state.
  .
  Technical explanation of the correction:
  The correction has been done so that the undo history of Swap
  visible space can be flushed by the Flush or Flush All.
  Note that since the Swap Visible Space commands do not
  interrupt the Select command, they are considered as being
  local actions during the Select command and then they are
  merged in one whole "Selection" undo step when the Select
  command is interrupted.
  .
  Possible by-pass and/or correction limitation:
  none
