Short description of error
In the Select Box seciton, the behavior does not match the text (and actual behavior), probably showing old (obsolete) behavior, namely selecting only objects that are completely (or origin-point selected?) in the box frame. Easiest update: Leave pic 1 and pic 3 as they are (before and after), but replace pic 2 (while selecting = the box frame) with one that only hits the cubes selected in pic 3.

The pictures are correct - they show vertex selection, not face selection. (In face selection mode, you'd indeed get a different result)

I updated the image captions to point this out and hopefully avoid this confusion for future readers.

Clarify that the selection example pictures are about vertices, not faces/objects #104540
