 the first sheet, my selections are deselected. So if I had selected 20 random 
 lines, upon going back I would have no idea which ones I selected. The 
 easiest way to resolve this would be to allow cutting of selected 
 non-sequential lines, right now I get an error message when attempting that. 
 The other way would be to simply retain the selected lines for the user when 
 switching between sheets. It makes sense to use this as the default as all 
 the user needs to do to deselect is click into any cell as usual, but save 
 them the frustration of trying to sort out which lines were selected.

thanks for your suggestion. You are not alone with your wishes.

Regarding the selecting/deselecting cells, I've found a very similar 
feature request in our issue tracker. Even when it's a bit older it is 
still valid:

Cell is deselected when switching sheet.

Regarding of copying/cuting non-sequential rows, this enhancement 
request is existing here.

non-contiguous copy/paste
