Well, when you click into the scene, an Intersection test is performed. For patches this test succeeds when one of its triangles is hit. For a cylinder in axial-view (looking "through the tube") this is of course only possible when you click the borders, as all the triangles are aligned along the radius. One *could* change the intersection test to succeed when the axis-aligned "rectangle" is hit by the mouse (clicking into the hole of the cylinder would select it), BUT that behaviour would introduce all kinds of other weirdness, so that's not a way to go. As this problem is specific to one type of patch as well as specific to one type of orthographic projection, I can't do much about it, I'm afraid. |

That sounds fine to me. Honestly this is of tiny importance, and can mostly be seen as "something to remember" for new users. If a fix was easy we could've tried it, but it doesn't sound like it's worth the effort and risk. If you don't have plans otherwise, I'll close it without contest. |
