Circle, Box and Lasso select dont set their selected elements active [objects, faces, verts, ...]
Afaik, this is by design, because in most situations, picking an element that should be the active one would more or less be arbitrary.

As a consequence, lots of operator that rely on an active element will fail after using these selection methods.

This is not a bug though, it is a knon issue that could be improved and has been reported before, see T68975: lack of active object after using selection tools blocks menus, will merge these reports...
