Ton,

Before this modification I was quite happy this the z-buffer mode since 
it worked correctly with my graphic card whereas the Face-Select mode 
(for uv-mapping) never worked (same thing for vertex paint, weight paint).
Now, when z-buffer selection is enabled, selection does not work with 
any of the new selection modes.

Could it be possible to have a setting to re-activate the "old" mode 
when z-buffer selection is active?

Perhaps it could also be possible to implement another method where you 
can only select faces whose normals points toward the viewer (for 
vertices, you can only select vertices which are linked to faces that 
points toward the viewer,  same thing for egdes). If you have more that 
one face (idem for edges and points) that satisfy this condition, the 
closest one should be chosen (distance used should be computed from the 
point of the face(/egde)  closer to the mouse cursor to the point of 
view; or simply using smaller z in non-perspective projection).

This other method could also solve the 65k faces issue.

Thanks in advance,
Stéphane
