Confirmed. Though I'm pretty sure that I did not change the projection
setting. Must be some strange default or the result of a crash.
So it is definitely a bug that the selection box is calculated
differently than the drawn bounding box of a relation.
BTW, what is the correct projection? I have chosen Mercator since the
relation selection works as expected with this and because other
projections make rectangles to rhombuses, which is dangerous when you
are rectifying buildings...
And another thing: the projections editor dialog and the preferences
dialog take 20 seconds or longer when clicking OK. Even if you didn't
change a thing and if no data is loaded at all. I'm seeing this on the
Windows release build 0.16.1.

actually is not anymore the bounding box of all members (see

any predictable point on the map that selects the relation. Somehow this

I had a look on this tonight.
I am pretty sure you accidently acitvated OSGB36 projection. If you activate
the showing of the lat/lon Grid you can see that it is not parallel to the X/Y
Axis.
The bounding box of a relation is currently calculated using the lat/lon
coordinates.
Now when pointing the box around the relation, 2 oposed nodes of the bounding
box are projected and from these the box to draw is retrieved.
Unfortunately when calculating the box for the Snap event, the other 2 oposed
nodes of the bounding box are used. In case that the lat/lon grid is not
parallel, this box will not be the same.
So to hover and focus a relation, you must find an invisible box.
I started a merge request for a hotfix to calculate the snap box in the same
way than the drawn box.
Since I am not really happy with this solution, I will think about an easy way
for better bounding box calculation.
