Short description of error
I use a Space Navigator 3D mouse, so I tend to move the camera a lot when using tools like Circle Select. I'm used to click "C" only once and keep selecting while rotating the view.

This is how this worked (please click the picture to show the GIF clip)

This is how it works now

Now, when using Circle Select "C" the selection tool seems to be locked in the local view axes of the first selection click/stroke, so if the view is rotated, the circle select tool doesn't follow the new local view plane and instead it keeps projecting the selection on the view plane of the first click.

This "axis lock" behavior doesn't appear to happen when using a similar tool as Select Circle ("W"), however, "shift" needs to be pressed every time for adding vertices/faces to the selection.

Exact steps for others to reproduce the error

Enter edit mode (tab).
Press "C" only once to activate the circle select tool.
Start selecting.
Rotate the view while selecting vertices/faces.
