Short description of error
Last selected face not changing to white outline when using 'Select Circle' or 'Select Lasso' tool.

Exact steps for others to reproduce the error
The last selected face is not changing to a white outline when using the 'Select Circle' or 'Select Lasso' tool. It does when using the 'Select Box' tool.
The material slot does not show what material is assigned to the selected face only when using the 'Select Box' tool.

"Selected faces and their selection point are displayed in orange, unselected faces are displayed in black, and the active or last selected face is highlighted in white."

Hi, thanks for the report. Unable to confirm the missing active face outline when selected with circle/lasso operators.

Also sometimes with drag selection the active face is not highlighted with white outline

Guess in video, you're trying to change the active face with box select operator?
As far as I understand, these selection operators don't alter the active flags, see: If any item that was last active appears in the selection it will become active.

Hi Pratik and Guillermo,
Thanks for checking.
I Loaded Factory Settings still have the same result.
The reason i posted this is because you can not tell which material is assigned to a face when using the Select Circle tool.
The material slot and name do not change. Only when using the Select Box tool.
Please see attached video.

Select Circle can select multiple items with a left click, other selection modes are invoked by holding down the left mouse button and moving the mouse, select box or select lasso with just a left click selects only one item and sets it as active, only when the active changes the selected material also changes.

There is an error in the documentation, it suggests that any selection can set activate an element

@NootMies hi, circle/lasso/box select don't change the active element, these operators only intend to select elements within gesture region.
Yes documentation can be improved. COuld you submit a report about this at: https://projects.blender.org/blender/blender-manual/issues
Actually 2.80 manual describes actualy behavior as said in #110418 (comment)

Will close.
