Short description of error
Loop selection don't work on some edges.

Exact steps for others to reproduce the error
Here on this mesh, if I try to use loop selection on edge 1, then edge 2 will not be selected. But if I try to use loop selection on edge 2, edge 1 will be selected. Seem like bug to me.

It does feel a bit buggy, I agree. However, this might not actually be a bug. Is an edge loop actually defined on non-quad geometry?

Please upload images directly here in the future.

Yes, there is n-gons adjacent to edge 1. So it looks like it's the reason why edge loop is not detected on that edge.

This is currently only designed to work with quads, closing.
