Summary: Hidden sections are not selected

Initial Comment:
In SectionGroup I have 4 sections. Two hidden and two visible.
Like this:

OutFile "install.exe"
Page components
InstType "qa"
InstType "prod"
SectionGroup "qa" qa
Section "" qaclean
SectionIn "1"
SectionEnd
Section "mod1" mod1
SectionIn "1"
SectionEnd
Section "mod2" mod2
SectionIn "1"
SectionEnd
Section "" qadeploy
SectionIn "1"
SectionEnd
SectionGroupEnd
Function .onSelChange
 SectionGetFlags ${qaclean} $0
 SectionGetFlags ${qadeploy} $1
 MessageBox MB_OK "qaclean: $0 qadeploy $1"
FunctionEnd


In installer I see sections:
mod1 and mod2, section qaclean and qadeploy are hidden.
I want hidden section to be selected if any of my visible sections are selected.

But in this situation it is not so:

Select qa group.
Expend it.
Deselect mod1, then deselect mod2.
Nothing is selected.
Now select only mod1.
Now two hidden section is not selected. 
This is a bug.
If I select mod2 now my hidden section will be selected as well.

You can see that after you deselect mod1 and mod2 and then click mod1, message box will show 0 for both hidden sections.

I would say it's HIGH priority bug.

I still think it's a bug. I created discussion at forum:

That's because selecting none of mod1 and mod2 is the same as selecting
the "prod" installation type when it comes to the visible sections. Imagine
the confusion caused by different section selection between manual
selection and installation type selection. If qaclean and qadeploy will
remain untouched, the user can get different result if selecting the 2nd
installation type and therefore deselecting all four sections; or if
deselecting mod1 and mod2, still getting the 2nd installation type when it
comes to visible sections but getting qaclean and qadeploy selected.

This is not a bug. This is the expected behavior. Please use the forum for
further help with section management.
