Ironically, drag-select is the exact use case that prompted me to STOP using cantSelect. I was working on a drawing pane and had an object covering the full space within the drawing region behind everything else I wanted to user to be able to interact with. My turning on the cantSelect for that larger object it no longer responds to the pointer tool, which is expected of course but makes drag-select impossible is the drag begins within that object.
