Box selection upgrade

[petit_chat_noir]

Hello,
Is there a way to selected objects with box selection(SHIFT+B) like AutoCAD/draftsight and others:
You pick box points left to right: Only entire object in the box are selected(blue box)
You pick box points right to left: All objects crossing the box are selected(green box)

It should be a good feature. I replaced shortcut by "B" because it's very useful.

edit: erf wrong section sorry

Moved to Help forum.

It used to work like that. Maybe a regression?

I confirm that it works on FreeCAD 18.3 but not on fresh git compile of FreeCAD v19

Has someone a version directly before and after the Big Merge? Then we could narrow it down where it comes from.

Realthunder has done a ton of changes after the big merge, so maybe we can ask him directly. It's possible that something changed more recently and not only during the big merge.

See the first post in this thread. Has the box selection changed significantly? There should be a difference in behavior between left to right, and right to left selection.

I see "shift+B" and release the keys, the next left mouse click is a box select.

You pick box points right to left: All objects crossing the box are selected(green box)

I don't see that occuring.

Both selections, from left to right and from right to left behave identical as they should from right to left only: Every object touched is selected completely.
