That, I agree with (Destiny)
The circle is far too big compared to its affect-range. Just reducing its visual radius would fix that aspect for me, though.
Going down this line of thought (as I was initially, and occasionally afterwards, perplexed by the shape) the problem isn't that it's circular. The problem is that it's a hollow circle. I'm sure a lot of people, myself included, see that hollow cursor and without thinking, attempt to encircle the square box. The reality was you didn't necessarily have to. If the cursor was a filled circle, I'm not sure that train of subconscious thought would persist as now you're covering the item. Cover enough of the box with the circle and you'd probably feel more confident about your selection and the feedback would be stronger.
I'm not UI expert though, so it's entirely possible I'm just talking out of my ass.
