Problem description

Hello all,
as of now, FreeCAD has two ways to select a group of objects with the mouse. When dragging the mouse from left to right, you select the objects that are completely within the rectangular. When dragging the mouse from right to left, you select the objects that lie inside and also those that intersect with the rectangular border.
It's very useful, and many CAD software programs also have this feature. However, new users have no way of telling which one they are currently using or have no idea that there are two different options. My request is to color the rectangle based on which option will be used, here are some quick visualizations I did (maybe have the colors customizable):
