Yes, I remember that. Unfortunately I don't always have time to do immediate testing of new stuff.
To aid me in doing this, would you mind explaining the rubberband rectangle problem a little further (and any other reproducable problems) since I'm not sure what you mean by this, and would like to have some reproducable cases in testing a replacement change.
Here's a simple test case. In node tool with a path selected, start dragging on an empty place, cover some nodes with the rubberband, and release mouse over a node. Correct result: rubberband rect disappears, covered nodes get selected, the last node on which you released either gets selected or not, depending on whether you covered its center. Wrong (current) result: rect stays on, nodes not selected, only the last node is selected as if clicked.
Another problem was that when you drag resize/rotate handles in Selector and release mouse away from the handle, the handle stays highlighted. For that problem I even committed a small fix some time ago (not aware of its real source):
http://svn.sourceforge.net/viewcvs.py/inkscape/inkscape/trunk/src/knot.cpp?r...
If you revert your August change that problem will be prevented at the source, and I will be able to back out my fix in knot.cpp.
