Thats just poor design. The extension could and should do something sensible instead of being so bluntly unforgiving and doing nothing useful (timewasting error message). The page itself is a big obvious rectangle which could reasonably be used if no selection has been made.
Which isn't to say there aren't a whole lot of things which could be done to make life easier for extension writers.
