Issue with hidden geometry still being selectable

[jeremyah6364]

Ever since one of the more recent updates, I've noticed that hidden sketches and surfaces are still selectable. This get really annoying when working with a lot of sketches that are close together, or stacked on top of each other like in the screencast I posted. Is there a setting to turn this off of is this a new bug with the new update?

The hidden geometry is selectable no matter what you are doing in the design tab, not just when you are editing a sketch.

I'm glad to hear the bug has been found, and turning off auto look at sketch has fixed the sketching problem for me as well so far.  I'd like to point out though that this behavior is not isolated to sketches.  Here I had everything hidden (nothing visible in the window) and I'm still able to select geometry.  Will the fix to the bug that was found also address this?  Or maybe there's a setting I'm missing.

@jeff_strater  Any idea when the update with the fix for this will be released?

any update on when this will be fixed? It's very distracting trying to work with this issue.

No it is not
I am having massive problems with hidden objects wanting to get selected all the time.
Why the hell is this still an issue?

From what I can tell it only show up if I hide a item by pressing "v" not if I hide it by pressing the eye so I assume it have something to do with ghost items lingering after you hide something and deselect it.
but if you hide it without having the object selected then no ghost object is created

Doesn't seem to matter if I turn the visibility off on the browser or using the "v" shortcut, every once in a rare while it still pops up for me. seems to be random for the most part

I'm having the same issue, I'm trying to merge bodies and all my hidden bodies are selectable, I have several hundred bodies that are hidden and selectable in this model which is not ideal.

@mmtomlin - please record a video of what you are doing, and share the model here, then we can take a look at it.

Hi, sorry for the late response to this.

I have found a way to easily reproduce the bug:

If you bool subtract (combine - cut in fusion) and use a hidden body as the cut tool AND you have "keep tools" turned on, this results in the cut tool still being selectable but hidden.

If you can't reproduce this let me know and I can record a video.

Thanks,

Matt

Brilliant!  Yes, that is easily reproducible.  I created bug FUS-134286 for this.  Thanks for helping to reproduce it!

So a year later and this is still a problem? is there a option in preferences for it now? or is it still unresolved?
