Steps to reproduce
 
1) In Katana, open the Hello Pony example project by selecting Help > Example Projects in the top toolbar, and then selecting Hello Pony from the column.

2) Enable Render Only Selected object by toggling the button to the right of the Implicit Resolvers toggle which can be found at the top of the Scene Explorer tab.



3) Select the pony mesh in the Scene Graph (/root/world/geo/pony) and start a preview render by right clicking on the GafferThree node and selecting Preview Render. Notice the empty preview render in the Monitor tab.
 
4) Add the two lights to the current selection in the Scene Graph by holding Ctrl and clicking areaLight and areaLight1 (/root/world/lgt/gaffer)
 
5) Start another preview render and notice how the preview render displays the pony under the lighting of the 2 selected lights.
 
Expected behaviour
The lights would not have to be selected in order to see a preview render of the selected object.
 
Actual behaviour
You now need to select the objects and lights that you wish to be rendered.
 
This behavior is now inconsistent compared to previous versions. (6.0v4 and earlier)
 
Workaround
Unknown.
