Editor selection missing objects

Unity Engine
1

Using Unity 5.6.0f3 right now.

Has anyone else noticed selection in the editor acting buggy lately?

It seems like some kind of depth sorting issue. For example, I have some pipes against the wall in my game. I can’t select the pipes at all while the wall is behind them. I always end up selecting the wall, no matter where I click the pipes. I have to pivot my view around 180 degrees so that nothing is behind the pipes before I can select them.

This seems like a bug. I’m doing quite a lot at runtime in terms of manually overriding the render-depths of certain objects, so I’m wondering if something is being left in a weird state when I exit play mode.

Any ideas?

Thanks

Edit:
Tried restarting editor, and changing all materials on the objects in question to standard - still can’t select the pipes.

This was actually easy to reproduce.
The attached image shows where I clicked, and the box behind the cylinder was selected instead of the cylinder itself.
Project attached.
Can anyone repro?

Thanks

I can’t be the only one having this problem when it was this easy to repo…

Selecting has always been a bit crap, but something seems to have gone wrong lately. It was also brought up in this thread, in this post.
