Can not get selection box selecting more than one object in Blender 2.8 I am a complete Blender newb, so it's entirely possible that I am messing something up.

In this capture I am trying to select all of the "brick" objects I have created using a mouse-drag box select: 

Am I doing something wrong? I saw some bug reports along the same lines but they don't seem to be resolved..

Windows 10, all updates installed, I JUST updated my Intel graphics driver to the latest supplied by Dell for my machine's model.
I realized the exact same problem when using my laptop without power connected. The box selection bug happens when power is not connected and battery mode is set to "Saver" mode. When set to any other mode other than power saver, the box selection works fine. My laptop is running intel graphics HD 630/Nvidia Geforce GTX 1050.

PS. I am a beginner in Blender.
