This is how it was designed, and always worked that way.

Maybe this could be a feature request, under certain conditions.
You could post a suggestion how could this work in https://blender.community/c/rightclickselect/.
Can only have 1 active object, and in most cases don't want to change it.

I know it can be only one active object, in the bug description I explain that it occurs after you deselect the first object. Please reconsider marking this as archived.

It's still not a bug, having an active unselected object is valid in Blender.

Sybren A. Stüvel changed title from ~~objects dosn't become active object if they are selected by a box~~ to Objects don't become active object if they are selected by a box
