So being unselectable because the stroke and fill are made invisible by clicking them off makes sense, but being unselectable because stroke and fill are made invisible by opacity doesnt. Cant argue with t...

The logic within the current code must be a simple test for "zero", and therefore a simple exception based on an "user setting" should be real easy to implement. I fully agree with this idea. The 0% opacity apparently means different things to different people all of a sudden, e...

Thanks for all your replies. I've reopened the bug and insisted that it is indeed a bug. I can't imagine how it could be anything else, why would you even want a functionality that lets you make an object unselectable and unmovable?
