System Information
Operating system: MacBook Pro, Mojave 10.14.3
Graphics card: Intel Iris Plus Graphics 655

Blender Version
Broken: Version 2.80 (2.80 2019-03-18, Blender Foundation) - found in object view
Worked: (optional)

Short description of error
Circle cursor - with only camera, lamp and cube in object mode, user perspective, the circle cursor will select three items properly. When they are deselected and then one of them is selected again with the circle cursor, the cursor does not select them as they do not turn orange.

Exact steps for others to reproduce the error
Based on the default startup or an attached .blend file (as simple as possible).
Startup Blender.
Click to dismiss splash screen.
Select circle cursor from "T" menu.
Select camera, lamp, and cube one at a time holding shift key.
Click mouse anywhere else to deselect all.
Select camera or lamp or cube -- without holding shift key -- none of the items are selected, that is, turn orange.

This can be repeated on four attempts producing the same results

Cannot reproduce.

Unless you mean that the cube stays active? If so, that is how Blender works and has always worked. An object can be either selected or active, which are two different things.

When selecting with the Select cursor, the cursor can be on any part of the object -- camera, cube, or lamp in the starting scene, and the object is selected, highlighted in orange.

When using the Circle cursor, the cursor must be on the center of the object to select it to be highlighted. If it is any other part of the object, the object is not selected.

See attached images.

If this is the correct operation, then please cancel the bug report.

This is how Circle Select worked in previous versions of Blender too, so it doesn't appear to be a bug. I'm not sure why.

@ideasman42: Is there a reason why circle select only works on origins in Object Mode?

@WilliamReynish I wasn't involved in this particular decision, however this can be useful (eg, selecting face centers in wire-mode is handy).

It's useful for lasso select since you can drag quick/sloppy selections and not worry a stray wire line poking out of an object causes it to be included in the selection.

@ideasman42 Yes, it just seems a bit inconsistent, given that Box Select doesn't work this way. Down the road, we could add a tool setting for it I suppose. But it's not a high priority item IMO.

So all tasks closed, and no solution even for Lasso Selection in Object Mode?
You have 2 modes for Lasso in Edit mode (wire-mode and regular) where lasso select only centers in wire and select all faces in area for regular mode...
Why not implement for Lasso selection Box-like selection in Object mode?
