Rhino Rhino for Mac

Hi, in Rhino 8 for Mac sub-selection click has no Selection Menu. For example, I can’t sub-select the left edge of rectangle B:

I’m pretty sure I was able to do this in Rhino 6 for Mac. Now Rhino 8 just picks the right edge of rectangle A and I cannot choose.

This does appear to be working in Windows Rhino in the latest build of V8 I have here.

Thank you for the file and the clear explanation! I was able to reproduce this here:

RH-79168 Select: Sub-Object select not showing Selection Menu

Thanks for reporting this.

Workaround fix for this is to turn off:
Settings › Advanced › MouseOverHighlightSubObjects

I still would call it a bug.
If MouseOverHightSubObjects wants to be a (nice) Improvement - It should not limit the usability.

even more ugly example then above / initial post:
draw a Polysurface-Box with Isocurves on for Planar Faces…

draw a “50%”-Rectangle on top
now try to select a segment of the rectangle …
I want to decide wether i get the Face, the segment, the edge, or at some segments - the other face…
There is no usage if Rhino randomly (from a user perspective) selects one.
@mikko - can you hear me ? please make the MouseOverHightlight smarter - thanks

this is one of those papercuts where rhino need more love and does not feel consistent.
