   Illustrator today allows to set this mode as a default behavior with the Select Objects only within Marquee option, in Preferences > Selection & Anchor Display.

   "1. Once the permanent option is enabled, E should work the other way — temporarily disable the Enclosed mode... doesn’t happen"

   Ah, that was the reason I asked. No way around it: This is just grossly incompetent programming. These guys suck. They may be (and probably are) very nice people. But they suck at this.
