Despite the announcement of the bug #2463 having been removed in 2024.4, my testing in a sample projects doesn't approve that.
If you enable "select from any layer" and then test several times shift-select in the room, there is a chance that in some point it randomly turns off.
However hopefully I found the cause for this issue. If you release SHIFT but still hold the mouse-click, the bug happens. I mean releasing mouse click after releasing SHIFT seems to be the cause of the problem.
Expected Change
No response
Steps To Reproduce
Start GameMaker
Open a project with a room consisting of several layers.

After selecting multiple assets, release SHIFT while still holding the mouse click.
