is that the functionality called "Rerun" in the Windows GUI?

I didn't even know that was the behavior for Rerun with
the non-permanent selection in the error case (well I always
use shift-drag anyway). But I think it would be more intuitive
if the non-permanent selection simply remained active until
a render was either completed successfully or explicitely
aborted by the user (even for the normal render command).

Actually the reason I always use shift drag is that I most
often use this to render a section of the image at a higher
resolution, i.e. first "shift drag" region in lowres render,
click "set but don't render", increase resolution, render.
