Hi!

I just find a way that could solve your problem.
The idea is to change the property 'marqueeBehavior' of the GFMarqueeSelectionTool contained in the palette.

To do this I suggest you the following lines (e.g. in your DiagramEditor subclass)


private void configurePalette() {
        final GFMarqueeToolEntry entry = findPaletteEntry(getPaletteRoot(), GFMarqueeToolEntry.class);
//        entry.setToolProperty(PROPERTY_MARQUEE_BEHAVIOR, BEHAVIOR_NODES_AND_CONNECTIONS);
        entry.setToolProperty(PROPERTY_MARQUEE_BEHAVIOR, BEHAVIOR_CONNECTIONS_TOUCHED);
}


    private static <T> T findPaletteEntry(final PaletteContainer paletteContainer,
                                          final Class<T> type) {
        for (final Object child : paletteContainer.getChildren()) {
            if (type.isInstance(child)) {
                return (T) child;
            }
            if (child instanceof PaletteContainer) {
                final T entry = findPaletteEntry((PaletteContainer) child, type);
                if (entry != null) {
                    return entry;
                }
            }
        }
        return null;
    }



Choose the property value 'BEHAVIOR_CONNECTIONS_TOUCHED' or 'BEHAVIOR_NODES_AND_CONNECTIONS' as you need.

Hope this helps!
