- if I want to select multiple elements of same type, I must maintain ctrl key pressed to add to existing selection, and when clicking on a new element without holding ctrl, existing selection is lost. This is the expected behaviour. BUT an existing selection is NOT cleared if I change element type. eg. if I select a primitive, change type to surface and click (without ctrl) on a surface both the primitive and surface get selected.
- As a user I want that drawing a selection marquee (with ctrl pressed) only adds to selection, instead of toggling selected elements. Deselecting elements should be done only with ctrl+click, not ctrl+drag
I created two issues (#372, #373) for this problem.

Yes, I know this. This behaviour is intented. It has its benefits and drawbacks.
I will find a way to fulfill your request and keep the old behaviour somehow working.
