Currently, selecting objects layered on top of one another require the user to
Control-Click (PC) or Command-Click (Mac) in order to select an object layered
on top if the base object is selected.

That is, if I have a callout layered on top of an image and accidentally select
the image, the only way to select the callout layered on top is to either
Ctrl/Cmd-Click it, or deselect the image first.

I propose that this is a usability bug preventing the user from quickly
selecting elements that he/she wants to move.  Automatically selecting top-most
layer is the default behavior in Microsoft Word, iWork Pages, as well as other
applications, and OpenOffice should match this.
