If I clic & drag I understand... but I have just made a clic to select
the selection ... I _have_ to do it to make the handlers appear ... but
I am wondering: why to show an empty selection and then show (but just
if I move the mouse on the borders) the handlers?

I activate the tool (rect select) before the selection. If I activate
the tool again after the selection the behaviour is just the same.

Please try and then tell me ...
