Arc selection sometimes requires arc center in left->right mode

Description

This is an odd one I noticed when playing with the design from #9352 (closed). When I import that design and try to drag select the upper-left arcs using the left->right selection mode, it only selects the arcs when I include the arc center in the selection box. I tried drawing a normal arc on the canvas, and it seems to let me select it using left->right without the arc center (although it seems to be a bit sporadic sometimes).

ArcSelection-2021-10-10_16.41.17

Steps to reproduce

  1. Import the DXF from #9352 (closed).
  2. Try to left->right select the upper left set of 2 arcs and 2 lines without including the arc center
  3. Note that the selection only includes 2 items instead of 4
  4. Try selecting left->right again but this time include the arc center
  5. See that now the selection has 4 items
