Can the message box that pops up to ask which of various overlapping objects the user wants to select be disabled?

usually the object is the one that it highlights by default anyway.

like here, i am trying to double click to edit the dimension text, and it already highlights pink

In AutoCAD, this can be done and it is a great timesaver

I have added this as a wish list item. We will take a look at how this might be implemented, but my first thought is to add this as an advanced setting that can be toggled on/off.

Let us know if you have any other thoughts on this that we may need to add to the list!
