could you add some details about what the bug is ? What is the expected behaviour?

the expected behavior is the one we have in 2.81 and before.

please see the attached gif.

Yes, true, blender now flushes selection (from edges to faces etc) immediately -- and since all face edges are selected, the face will be as well....
Please have a look at the discussion in #73771 (New Bevel: Scaling Vertices, Edges by their individual origins has different behavior if bevel regions are direct neighbors (selection flushing to edges immediately?)).

This might have disadvantages in certain scenarios (this one in particular - since it is not so obvious how to preserve new geo selection), BUT there is always a workaround:
In this case you can perform the operation with same results in face select mode (instead of edge select mode) --> you are left with the nice selection you were expecting, no? (blender is not flushing faces to adjacent faces)

Afraid we have to close this since this is working as intended...
(feel free though to comment again if issues persist...)

hi, thanks for the reply.
I still think this is a regression, from an artist standpoint there is no real benefit to have this new behavior, but I can see a number of cases where this behavior can cause problems:

Here a clear case where using faces is not helpful:

thank you

You can still work around it by using edge and face mode?

(dont get me wrong, I also think it has disadvantages, but to me it looks like you can still get what you want?)

sure, but still, no advantages at all by this new behavior.
