Hi,

I have noticed recently that when I have multiple objects overlapping and I try to select them I don’t see anymore the square indicating the color of the layer which was very useful to understand which object to actually select. Now it seems I have to try every time to see if I got the correct element.

Is this a bug that is going to be fixed?

I don’t think it ever showed the layer _color_, just the name. Can you see if in Options\>Selection Menu if “Show object color” is checked? If so, it should show the object’s color even if it’s “by layer”.
