System Information
Operating system: Windows 10 64 bit
Graphics card: Nvidia gtx 860m

Blender Version
Broken:
2.79b release
version: 2.80 (sub 37), branch: blender2.8, commit date: 2018-12-16 00:27, hash: 4488056f3d, type: Release

Worked: (optional)

Short description of error
when in object mode and using circle or lasso select, objects will only be selected when the objects origin is within the circle. when using box select its enough if any part of the object is within the selection

Exact steps for others to reproduce the error
Based on the default startup or an attached .blend file (as simple as possible).

create a couple of duplicated cubes, stay in object mode
use box select and try to select the cubes on any part of the mesh
now switch to lasso or circle select tool
try to select the objects on any part of the mesh again
notice how its only possible with these selection methods if the origin of the object is within the selection

Really wondering why in object mode this is intended. In edit mode it does select either verts, edges or faces under the cursor. Most times this "origin only" makes it kinda hard to use. Wonder what the idea behind using it on origins only is?
