Box select fails when zoomed out

Exact steps for others to reproduce the error

Open Select.blend
Box select some of the bones in the provided file.
It doesn't work for me unless you zoom in first
If you display the bone as "Wire" or "BBone" then everything is selecting correctly, otherwise not.

It fails in both pose and edit modes, perspective or orthographic.

Guess this is related to #80296

or as said in #102485, there is viewport limit for selection?

But lasso select works fine so I'm bit confused here.

Can confirm. unable to select in either Wireframe or Solid view with or without x-ray.

Also it looks like If you display the bone as "Wire" or "BBone" then it's selectable, otherwise not.

Edit:

When trying to box select everything, the same error as #80296 appears: Too many objects in select buffer, I think we could use intinstead of short as the return value for view3d_opengl_select, and use -1 or INT_MAX to indicate selection fails.
