I made a new selection-tool with deconstruct and cancel-deconstruct as the selection_mode and alt_selection_mode respectively.
Normal selection works as expected. The alt selection mode however will not highlight entities that are marked for deconstruction in the selection area. The triggered event does include the expected entities tho.

My in-dev mod to replicate this is attached (CTRL + X to get the selection tool). It's filtering for rails only.

Thanks for the report. Issue is now fixed for 1.1.93. There was a missing case for "cancel-deconstruct", "cancel-upgrade" and "downgrade" selection modes causing selection tool to not be considered able of selecting entities and so the selection rendering was not even trying to render entity selections by other rules.

As for a workaround, you may add a "same-force" mode next to the "cancel-deconstruct" but only do that if game version is < 1.1.93. (maybe it will also work in 1.1.93+ but it will cause observable differences in 2.0)
