Change stacking order of paths to allow for more control in selection



  • It can be difficult to select a circular path that is smaller and "underneath" a larger circular path. I don't know what rules VS uses to select one path instead of another, but what if the path could be sent to the top of the hierarchy? If VS honored whatever circular path was on the very top first, that would allow the smaller circle paths to get easier access. the bigger outer ones could still be selected by a direct click because there's nothing as close to their edge.
    Here is a screenshot of this example - #1 represents the inner path i want to add text to and #2 represents the larger path that seems to block access to the smaller one in this video

    @Boldline Got it. The issue is with the selection when the text on path tool is active.
    The existing text is selected because it is inside a bounding box.

    This is an error, will be fixed ASAP.
