    When I work in the editor and click in a scene on a object, it always selects everything BUT the object under the mouse....and I have to click...click...click N times until finally, it selects the object directly under the mouse.

    In the UI this is really infuriating as just to click on and select say a button, it first picks every possible UI element OTHER than the button I directly clicked upon...meaning my hierarchy now has tons of 'opened' pieces and is a mess.

    How can I get the editor to simply select the first object directly under the mouse pointer when I click in the scene?
