Arcs selection became so annoing

Hello
I'm not sure since which version of AC developers made this change. I skipped AC17 and AC18. Before (at least in AC16) it was not necessary to include arc center in selection frame to select an arc with entire element selection method. But now (in AC19 and AC20) if arc center is not in selection frame arc wont be selected. Оn the other hand with partial elements selection method now I can easily select an arc which is even out of view if it center gets to selection frame. And it's so so annoying! And it's not just me, all my coworkers confirmed this change is less convenient.
I captured a video just to show an example of how it could interrupt workflow:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=f1jPdHvf7f4&feature=youtu.be
At the beginning I showed how some arcs didn't selected when expected, and in second half of the video how arcs with big radius could easily be selected by accident.
So my question is: is it a bug or a feature? Or maybe there is any way to setup AC to behave like before?

We discussed this with our designers and its been added to the developer database as a regression bug with the ID #218859. This will be handled as a part of a bigger project, we are planning the function to return to the ARCHICAD 17 behavious, soon. Best, k
