Thanks.  Some commas are missing, see below.

> +show restore-selected-thread
> +  This new option is off by default.

This sentence is redundant in NEWS, and IMO should be removed.

                                                       ^
Please add a comma there.

And there.

Likewise.

                                    ^
Same.

> +When this option is on @value{GDBN} will record the currently selected
                         ^
Here as well.

> +thread in each inferior.  When switching between inferior @value{GDBN}
                                                            ^
And here.  Also, I think you meant "between inferiors", plural.

> -Otherwise, only @var{thread-num} is shown.
> +Otherwise, only @var{thread-num} is shown.  When switching between

Please add a comma here.

           ^
And here.

The documentation parts are okay with these fixed.
