In different LO modules, it is sometimes the case that we have a large,
partially-transparent object appearing before a smaller object. The smaller
object can typically only be selected by surrounding it with a selection
rectangle; and sometimes even that is quite challenging.

It would be nice if LO interpreted relevant gestures as an intent to select the
further-backwards object. Specifically, if you keep your mouse mostly static,
and repeat a mouse selection action, relatively slowly, on a point where the
backwards object is also present. After a few long and/or repeated
left-mouse-button presses - which are extremely unlikely to occur
accidentally/unintentionally - LO could figure out what's going on and choose a
selected object which is not the fore one.
