Perhaps I've misunderstood your original bug report or reply.  To be as
clear as possible, here's what I think is true, so tell me what part I'm
misunderstanding:

The original bug report was that if you do an isearch, then C-S-right, the
word that was selected as part of isearch is no longer selected, and the
selection starts out to the right of the word.  So, if you searched for
"foo" and the buffer text was "foo bar", and isearch is selecting "foo",
then C-S-right will leave you with only "bar" selected, instead of "foo
bar" selected.

This is something I can reproduce right now on Emacs 25.

You said you could no longer reproduce this, and that your expectation is
that "C-s-right would terminate isearch and select the next word".  I
understood this to mean that C-s-right would, in our example, only select
"bar", and that's the expected behavior.  Is it?
