Selection adds measure across page break
Low priority, but still something interesting. When selecting the last notes of multiple instruments (from top to bottom, top instrument must have a note and not a rest), the selection will include those notes and the next measure. This does not seem to happen in other circumstances.

I get the basic gist of what you are saying, but not the details. Can you attach a score and give us precise steps to reproduce the problem?

Sure.
Scroll to measure 31, click on the A-flat on the top staff, hold shift, and click on any of the half notes in the piano part. The selection should extend to cover all of measure 32 as well.
For instance, this also works at measure 25 and 54, but not 10 or 17, so I'm not sure what could be causing it.
This seems to occur at the same measures over different parts, provided the conditions of multiple instruments and automatic section break are met.

I've reproduced this. Seems like a bug to me.

I confirm. Same 3.4.2 version but there is an easy workaround : Start selecting the half note piano.
Or, more complicated but more precise, by developing the half notes :

I can confirm the glitch, but for me it's an error with drawing the rectangle only - the following measure is not actually selected. You can confirm by checking the colors of the notes in the next measure or pressing Delete or any other command that would normally affect the selection in an obvious way.

Good catch! I just tried it again and confirmed that the bug is cosmetic only.
Moreover, even after getting into that state it's possible to get the selection rectangle to render correctly by pressing
Shift
+Right
and thenShift
+Left

Ah, yes, indeed, I didn't know that way.
