That's what I thought...but CWS says otherwise. Can anyone else confirm?

No cigar. Clicking on the existing 1A icon has the same effect as clicking the "Change" seat button, ie it deselects and becomes red, and allows you to change seat. The Confirm button only becomes available if you actually change seats.

Sadly clicking Confirm kicks you back out so you have to go back in again to change the seat back.

Not the end of the world, just thought it would be a bit clearer. I have a trip with a lot of legs and missus is on a separate ticket so I have to do everything loads of times. The ios app does a very similar thing as well.
