1) If a component is very large in the current zoom level it should be ignored. It makes it very difficult to select small components that end up on the opposite side of a large component. It is also very unlikely the user will want to move the thing that is not even visible at the moment because it is 10x the size of the viewport. :) 2) Add the option to use a button to flip through potential selections. Having to use the mouse to select the component I meant from a list of candidates is really annoying. Other software packages have a nicer behavior for this: select a component and allow swapping through candidates using the right mouse button (this could be a keyboard shortcut too) and then confirm with another left click. (a good example is how the package with a bird does that, this is one of the few things I miss from using that software on daily basis. :) )
I second both points. Related to the selection behavior: In 4.0.6 I can select components even if their anchors are switched off. But components on a layer with switched off anchors should not be selectable at all - why else did I switch off their anchors? This lies inline with Pjotrs selection issues and eases working with pcb that have both sides populated A LOT!
