Yes, I expect a de-selection. Note that, in your example, your new text box did
not intersect the existing box. It would be more distracting if you intended
for the boxes to intersect; and even more distracting if the contour took up
more of the shape's area on screen, e.g. a star shape for example.

1. User will not be distracted to focus on now-selected shape (the selection
indication attracts attention).
2. Contour won't obstruct the view of where you might place/draw the object.

That would be nice, but would be a different bug :-)
