Editor: To select feature covered by other feature of same layer seems impossible

[Grammostola]

Tested a build of today and when we're editing one layer, say of polygons, and one polygon happens to be completely covered by another polygon, the one beneath cannot be selected. I appreciate that this situation probably doesn't occur a lot (several layers would normally be employed I imagine) but as it did just now and since it was discussed in Slack prior I thought it'd make a good issue. Even if the result is "use several layers" : )

Aha,,right :) Thanks. I expect it doesn't come up alot(features of the same layer covering each other); when it does and you are dealing with semitransparent polygons the instinctive question in the room in this instance was, from both GIS and non-GIS-personnel, 'How do we access the small square still visible but covered by the larger area polyon'. We'll find some workaround.

Good question! I guess it depends on demand. I see your point but I think this issue will get resvoled in the spec and will trinkel down to Origo. Ofc its possible to resolve this issue right now, question is "is it worth it" ?

If several point-features share the same coordinates it would be nice to be able to choose which to edit aswell.

@mulfvik Nice!

The forthcoming #1614 could be a workaround for this.
