In previous versions of Blender, I was able to go into edit mode, and CTRL-Click as an extrusion shortcut. Now, in Blender 2.8, when I do this, I accidentally select other objects, even though I'm in edit mode. What changed, and how do I de-select things that have been CTRL-selected?

The extrude shortcut hasn't changed, the default select button has.

The extrude shortcut is ⎈ Ctrl+ non-select mouse button, where 2.7x defaults to RMB RMB select, you use ⎈ CtrlLMB LMB to extrude, Now that 2.80 has LMB LMB select you use ⎈ CtrlRMB RMB to extrude, unless you change your selection setting.

In 2.80, ⎈ CtrlLMB LMB can select a different object while in edit mode. This appears to be a planned feature, it can be useful for example when adding hook modifiers that use different objects for different vertices, where the selected object is assigned to a modifier property.
