I can't even compile 10.04, so there is no way for me to confirm or deny 
whether it had a strange selection bug.  There were selection bugs 
involving using keyboard shortcuts to extend selections, bugs involving 
selections with tied notes, and bugs involving selections in the matrix 
that have all been fixed since then.  A selection bug in 10.04 is possible.

Using 13.02, I'm having absolutely no problems selecting notes on either 
side of a bar line and tying them together.  It is worth noting, 
however, that the first time I tried this, I wasn't thinking at all, and 
I tried to tie two notes that weren't at the same pitch!  That failed, 
of course, because a tie is only possible on notes that are the same pitch.

That option works, but it doesn't do what you think it does.  That is 
for the case where, for example, you have a bar of 4/4 that has a half 
note on the last beat.  A bar like that will be drawn with a red bar 
line instead of a black one, showing you that the contents of the bar 
don't add up correctly.  In that case, it contains five beats.  The tie 
notes at bar lines function will split that half note into two tied 
quarter notes, extending one of them into the next measure, and 
resolving the red bar line.
