Regarding the selection of E-mode
When using the group selection tool to select objects within a group, pressing "E" can select the objects, but in the "selection tool" state, pressing "ctrl+alt" switches to the "group selection tool", and pressing "E" cannot select objects within the group.
As shown in the video:

Yes, pressing 'ctrl+alt' again worked

I found another user who can replicate this, on Mac.
They say if you keep the marquee held, and then try to press Cmd/Ctrl + Opt/Alt once again (while still holding the marquee), it suddenly works.
Can you confirm this? -

It's not a specific file, any newly created document has this issue, and testing on different computers also has this problem
-
Can you share the test file, just in case? Maybe it’s file specific?

It's so strange. I tried different computers and found the same problem.

Can’t confirm this.
If I hold Ctrl+Alt to temporarily switch my Selection Tool into Group Selection Tool, hitting E once while dragging properly enables the enclosed mode and objects within a marquee get selected as expected... applies both to paths and text objects.
Let’s try to figure out what else can influence this...
