It'd at least be an incremental improvement if we had an option to select between "visual" (which should include filter area, IMO) and "geometric" bounding boxes.
But there are still a lot of questions around that: which things should it affect? As I noted before, I think selection cues should always correspond to the visual, and probably also selection/click sensitivity as well. Also, should it be one option for everything, or individual settings for separate purposes?
Here's an idea: what about making bbox calculation for most purposes geometric when in outline mode, and visual when in normal mode? I think that should interact well with people's expectations.
