>> Well, this was intentional so that Ctrl-A / Select all would behave equivalent to dragging an area selection around everything.
But I think that you're right - if you have an edge or face sub-object selection it is probably more expected that select all will only grab those other sub-objects instead of everything else in addition to that.
I have changed select all to behave like this for the next beta.


Cool ! Thanks Michael. It seems there will be a lot of small changes in the next beta that will make life easier ! ;-)
