I can't see that select faces with center is turned on in the first gif. I see that face centers are set to display, and the preselect highlight looks appropriate for whole face in the first, and face center in the second. I think it would be misleading to pre-highlight when in the face but if select by face center is on.
There might be some confusion here with how this UI feature works. If under Preferences > Settings you have the Select faces with option set to Center, face center dots will always display when in face mode (you can't disable them), and you will always need to have your cursor near the center for the pre-selection to…

Has anyone overcome this bug yet? Personally I really like the pre 2016.5 setup with the flexibility that allows me to both quickly click select single face, and marquee select multiple ones with center constraint. It's really a much fluid implementation. Even with the update patch, the problem still persist for me, Even…
as with the lasso tool... you will get better response/accuracy with the paint selection when the brush radius encompasses a majority of a components area ( over half, bout 3/4 works best fer me ). Same for lasso... if you were to lasso a thin snake shape on that same selection attempt, the result would be the same…
