XCS - Is there a way to select only objects fully surrounded by selection box?

In Lightburn, when selecting objects by dragging out a selection box there are 2 ways to do it :

  1. If you draw the selection box by dragging from left to right it only selects objects which are fully inside the box
  2. If you draw the box by dragging right to left it selects all objects which have any part inside the box.

Having tried all kinds of things it seems that in XCS it always does option 2. i.e. there's no way to select only objects fully inside the box. In a complex design this can mean a lot of clicking to deselect unwanted objects by clicking their outlines. I've tried all kinds of things like holding down shift, alt or ctrl while dragging but nothing seems to change the behaviour.

Does anyone know, please, if there is a way in XCS to achieve what's done in 1. above?
