System Information
Operating system: Linux-4.15.0-101-generic-x86_64-with-debian-buster-sid 64 Bits
Graphics card: GeForce GTX 1050/PCIe/SSE2 NVIDIA Corporation 4.5.0 NVIDIA 435.21

Blender Version
Broken: version: 2.83.0, branch: master, commit date: 2020-06-03 14:38, hash: 211b6c29f7
Worked: 2.80-2.82a

Short description of error
I've been using ALT + LMB (PRESS) mapped to mesh.loop_select and ALT + LMB (CLICK_DRAG) mapped to mesh.loop_multi_select.
This worked very well in the past, as long as you click-dragged outside the mesh.

video demo

Exact steps for others to reproduce the error

setup you loop and multi loop selection KMIs like in the image above, left or right mouse shouldn't matter
try multi loop selecting by click dragging outside a mesh in 2.82a and 2.83, it should work in the former and fail in the later.
- see video demo for details

I can confirm that it worked on 2.82 and no longer works on 2.83.
You can work around the problem using "Tweak" instead of "Mouse".

This is because, even if canceled, the operator of selecting loops captures the click event and the click drag is not performed.

But why did this work in 2.82?

@ideasman42, any idea what may have changed in that area?

You need to use Click instead of Press.

No, it doesn't work if ALT + LMB (PRESS) is mapped to mesh.loop_select at the same time.

This does work however, thanks @mano-wii

Use 'CLICK' (not PRESS) for loop_select and 'CLICK_DRAG' for loop_multi_select.
The 'PRESS' performed immediately after pressing down.
The 'CLICK' when you press and release the button.

With the combination "Press" + "Tweak" it will fail if you click-drag close to the mesh, since loop_select will perform also.
