Okay, so now I tested this with 6.2.6.2. Here are my results:
*Corner*
Releasing Shift first: *Square*
Releasing mouse button first: *Rectangle*
*Side*
Releasing Shift first:  *Rectangle *
Releasing mouse button first:  *Rectangle *

So it's at least possible to drag and release to a square, but the result
is NOT the same as the pre-drawn square that you see while moving the mouse.
I think this feature needs a little more work. It's not a perfect "what you
see is what you get", as far as I'm concerned. Why the pre-drawing if the
result is going to be something else anyway?
