Not Working: Select objects completely inside the marquee
Today’s 28.3 release (non-beta) touts the “Select objects completely inside the marquee” feature. Unfortunately, it’s not working here in macOS 14.3.1 (23D60).
Whether the E key is used or not, all objects are selected even in the case of an object not being fully enclosed in the selection area. And unfortunately, using the E key switches the current tool to the Free Transform tool, away from the Direct Selection tool which is counterproductive :(

Enclosed mode is the first mode in Ai to use a single tap of a button instead of holding one. 'E' key should be pressed once you start dragging the marquee, during drag operation.

The _quickly_ pressing of the E key worked. Thank you. My problem is that I was holding it too long. It requires a fast keypress and that’s it.

I know this is very tricky...
Try this way: press 'E' after you start doing the marquee, just a single press. You will see [] beside the cursor. Hope this helps and please let us know if it works. Thank you!
