It already does continue to loop in 2.0.5 if you start loop play then click or drag in the Timeline. It may not look like it if you are clicking at a point, because loop without a selection always plays the entire track.
That "continuing to loop" is actually a bug because it assumes you want to continue loop play which you may not. This has been fixed in the upcoming 2.0.6 release. If you start loop play of a selection (or of a Play Region in the Timeline) then want to loop play another region, SHIFT-drag then release that new Play Region in the Timeline.
Dang, I thought it was a feature! I really liked that. Sorry you "fixed" it.

It was not an intended feature and annoyed some people. Playback stops when you drag a new region in the Timeline, and so should not inherit loop play from the previous playback.
The ability to loop play a Play Region is still there, but you have to hold SHIFT and then drag.
I suggest you see what happens, for example if we really do make loop play default in future. I for one would not want that, so perhaps there will be some control to decide whether playback loops or not.
