Request - Box selection behaviour fix

 

There is a minor annoying behaviour regarding the box selection. When trying to expand the selection by dragging the mouse to the edge of the view to reveal modules out of frame, the beginning of the selection box does not stay where it needs to. It should stay in the part of the flow where the selection was started keeping those modules selected but now the selection box will follow when scrolling unselecting any modules in the beginning that is left behind out of frame. As it is based on what is in the frame, this does not only affect large selections when fully zoomed out but every single situation when it´s needed to expand the selection out side of the view in that moment.

Also similarly there is something weird when expanding the selection by having the box dragged against an edge of the view as the new modules do not actually get selected right away as the box touches them but only after (if) the mouse cursor is brought back over the flow out from the edge. If the mouse button is released when the cursor is still leaning at and touching the edge, the selection will not include any modules that were outside of the very first view initially. Not a big deal, but it´s obviously not working correctly.

Some apps don´t even have the possibility to scroll the view in editor when box selecting so it´s great that we already have that! Now if only that box selection tool would actually work when doing so then it would be even better :D
