Hi, I am wondering if there is a way to create a selection box starting from inside a shape. For example selecting channels 1 through 5 in the following picture:

I am used to 3.1 where you could simply drag inside of the square shape and it would create a selection box, but as I understand it currently drag clicking will move the shape instead. In comparison in v3.1 you would have had to click the shape on its own, then drag after.
I can start the drag from outside of the box but I am used to creating multiple of these boxes next to each other to section information so a box in the middle would not have this option. I have tried shortcuts (shift ctrl alt clicking etc) but can't find anything.
Thanks
