I noticed yesterday that yup, that happens, but I never thought of it as a
"bug" because, about half the time, I don't "click select" objects; I use
the ObjectProperties window.
I tend to try to name all my objects (after having done up a huge complex
scene full of "NoName"s and the subsequent maddening frustration of trying
to go back and fix certain details). SO a backdrop would be, rather
unceratively, "BackDrop", a plane meant to represent the gorund would be
"GroundPlane", a tree object is the tree name and the number that tS
assigns to copies ("Hawthorn,1", "Cypress,6", "YellowIris,11" and so on),
buildings have names ("Bank", "DonutBldg", "BigBrown", or whatever) and all
their subparts (now at least!) have names, tho' I do use abbreviations,
like "Wind" or "W" for "Window". The dragonfly has 4 wings, ("Wing",
"Wing,1", "Wing,2", "Wing,3") and 6 legs (similarly anmed with subparts
also named).
So, if I want to select anything, esp. since there are usu. a few layers of
things, I select it using the ObjectProperties window (which is a permanent
fixture of my personal tS configuration, because I use it so much that I
was spending half my time re-opening it).
