"Single Click Object Picking" in GUI seems broken?

[lweidner]

Hello! I've noticed in perhaps the last couple of versions that I have a very difficult or impossible time using the "single click object picking" functionality. I often output hundreds of point clusters from Python and want to interactively select them.
But 99% of the time, clicking anywhere on the cluster does nothing, even if I increase the point size to be very large.
Currently I see this on 2.12.4. I noticed that the ability to disable the single click function was added in 2.12.0. Perhaps that's not a coincidence?

Wondering if anyone else has experience this.

EDIT: I forgot to add that it works for meshes as expected but not for point clouds...

See below for an example of the kinds of point cloud blobs that I want to select interactively but can't.

Have you tried with the latest 2.13.alpha version?

Hi Daniel,
Looks like I should have tried that too, because it works in the latest 2.13.alpha version. My bad!
I had been holding off on upgrading but now might be a good time I guess... :)
