The correct way to deal with a constrained selection is to let the
user control the pointer, and then draw the unique rectangle with the
specified aspect for which one of the moving sides pass through the
pointer. This allows one to select the rectangle by moving either the
right side (and have the bottom one follow according to aspect) or
moving the bottom side (and have the right one follow according to
aspect).
That is how the "select square" functionality works in 2.2. It is easy
and intuitive. Is there any reason to change it?
