Selecting unwanted outside objects in Component Mode

Hello all,
I've been struggling a lot with this issue since I decided to switch to Maya last week... 
But when i am inside component mode, editing a vertex/face, etc...  and I marquee select a group of them that I want to work with, Maya also selects any other object behind, sometimes keeping my vertex selection, or leaving component mode altogether. 

I've searched for all possible solutions, ignore selection priority... changing priority to polymesh to 1...  and the only thing that emulates the behaviour I want, is pressing F8 - Select By Component Type... but drag RMB already gives me this option, and is a much faster approach. Do I really have to press F8 every time I want to edit things in component mode without selecting other objects? It makes no sense... 

Thanks in advance!

Could you post a screen recording of the behavior you are running into? It sounds like you are doing everything correctly.
