sorry for the bad wording.

i wanted to say that the user experience is not that good.

most people will just think that scribus is randomly behaving and won't 
understand that there is a difference when dragging from the left or 
from the right.

but i have to admit that it's a clever hack!

so, IMO, greedy and not greedy selections (or give it any other name you 
see fit) are an interesting feature and i'd welcome a fast way to switch 
from the one to the other (or from the preferred one to the other)... 
but i'd prefer a "conscious" triggering by the user :-)

ciao
