Some times I have big problems trying to select objects especially small.
For example look at screenshot I have no chance to select selected object. It does not select at all. I could select it only by select all objects and the deselect all that I do not need.

I also have this issue.

Also did you know if you click mmb, you will cycle the selections.  Sometimes this helps if you select the big object,  and want to select the small object in front.

if you have objects that are overlapping in the viewport, select just one,  then just click middle mouse button.  This will switch the selection to the next object behind the current selection.  Can be usefel actually.

Is it possible to show the problem in a video clip with simple objects? I need to be able to reproduce the bug before I can fix it.

I tried to reproduce this problem with simplу objcts but I failed. I tried on objects that I have preveously problems but it also works good. Looks like it some times work sometimes no. I can assume that it depends also from best fit. I'll capture this problem next time I meat it, and I'll upload the project.

I wonder if it has something to do with camera clipping and the focal point of the camera interfering.

Yeah I get this and other viewport bugs as well.     We need to find a way to get Istonia fully funded so he has more time :(  The poor guy works on this on top of his full time work.

samardac, you may have had some of the objects freezed. If an object is freezed, you can't interact with it through viewport.

Is it possible to reproduce the bug from a saved scene file? Also, if it happens, can you check  in the "Object List" in "View Explorer" to see whether the unselectable object is in a special color indicates it is freezed?
