Right now the "Select Contour" feature behaves like a "Select each and every connected line".
I think that was not the intended purpose, so I report this as a bug.

I tested it on a honeycomb structure and instead of selecting just the outer contour it selected also every line inside the structure, which were connected to the contour.

This is expected behavior. If multiple entities connect to the clicked entity, the exact outcome is not defined.
There is currently no tool to specifically select the outermost or innermost contour.

Ah, ok, then I misinterpreted the word "contour". :-)
Thanks for clarifying this.
