Steps to reproduce:

I remember this worked a few versions ago but I'm not sure.

I don't think it ever worked like that. If you hold Ctrl when dragging over cells it will unselect.

Thanks, using Ctrl + drag up I can unselect lines. I was relatively sure it used to work like this, but I may be thinking of ArcGIS or SAGA.

Is there a reason (technical or otherwise) for this behaviour? It's the behaviour one would intuitively expect since it's how Calc/Excel and also SAGA GIS work.
