In reviewing #3023797-78: Let users choose what to do after selecting and/or adding items in the media library → , @webchick had this to say:
If you select, say, 3 media, then go back and select, say, 2 media... the media library will only show you the two you just selected, not the 5 you've selected altogether. My spidey sense says that might be confusing for people, and could also cause them to accidentally select the same image twice, since they can't see the already-inserted images when the dialog is up in their face. (In fairness, @SeanB did point out that there could be a use case for inserting the same media item twice, such as filling up a carousel, or promoting a particular ad multiple times... but it feels like it's more often you'd do this by accident, and maybe we move the ability to select an image twice to a contrib module for those who need it).
The ability to reference the same thing multiple times in one field is a built-in part of all entity reference fields, so this bears some further discussion (and possibly implementation, depending).

Makes Drupal easier to use. Preferred over UX, D7UX, etc.
It affects the ability of people with disabilities or special needs (such as blindness or color-blindness) to use Drupal.
Not all content is available!
It's likely this issue predates Contrib.social: some issue and comment data are missing.
Let me add, that I think we don't only need the 1 of 1 selected text, but also need to know what has been selected, for example by giving a preview. And you should be able to deselect in the widget. Otherwise it's hard to find how to remove the selection again.
