Bug Selecting Gameobject with sprite renderer with negative x scale is not working.

For Unity 2021.2, using 2D

if you have a simple game object with negative scale, you can't select it easily by clicking on the sprite object. You have to marque area select it instead.

This is highly annoying, and was not like this before 2021.2.

 

I have made bug report : case (1381316 )

 

Same problem for me still, in Unity 2021.3.8f1

I really can't figure out the issue. If I rotate my camera around, it allows me to click select on some of the sprites. And if I flip the X / Y on the renderer, sometimes it works too, but there doesn't seem to be a specific pattern or anything.

Can add that this happens even on sprites that are not negative transforms.

 

I kinda figured this out. Basically the "Sprite" shader has some weird setting (like it looks two-sided, but gets culled like a one-sided thing). The workaround is to use Unlit (not "Sprite Unlit") shader with "Render Face = Both".
