Zooming by clicking and draging the mouse not working in all directions.

[nx10]

While clicking and draging the mouse works fine when the origin is a pont thats to the upper left to the destination, any other direction does not work, it does not even show a blue "lasso" and resets the zoom level.

I am sorry for creating the issue if this is intended as a feature, but I could not find a way to turn it off.
