Hi all.

I have recently noticed something about my latest 2022 SP5 version that has a glitch when using "Section View" withoin the modelspace. (Not Drawing file.)
What I have seen is when using the section view tool in the HUD command bar, I can no longer select any edges that would be hidded if not for the section view. If that make sense.
I mean, section viewenable a slice thru the model to select and view items that would be hidden by otheres. But I am not able to select edges thru the hidden bodies.
I thought I was having a "Mandela Effect" moment.. But no, I opened up my older 2014 and 2016 versions and they worked differently/correctly.
Is anyone else experiencing this.? Or is there a setting/workaround for this I am unaware of.? Or is is a deliberate new Feature I did not see in the What's New..?
Not having the ability to select edges thru faces that are hidden by section view is surprisingly frustrating sometimes..

If you have "Graphics only section" selected, this will indeed be the case.
(I use graphics only, when I need a section view on a particulary large/resource heavy model or if there are errors that are preventing me from doing a full section view)
