Hi Graeme, I usually just alter the opacity in the Layer Properties/Symbology window, that makes spotting overlaps easier. Richard's answer is quite useful, but will probably be more difficult to remember, and requires an additional 3 clicks to accomplish. -Thayer

Re: Make selected features dominant in view (Richard Duivenvoorde) ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Message: 1 Date: Wed, 12 Feb 2020 19:58:08 +0100 From: Richard Duivenvoorde <[email protected]> To: SEGGIE Graeme <[email protected]>, "[email protected]" <[email protected]> Subject: Re: [Qgis-user] Make selected features dominant in view Message-ID: <[email protected]> Content-Type: text/plain; charset="windows-1252" Hi Graeme, I do not know an answer, but I checked and it's not that selected items always would end up on top... This sounds very reasonable though... and helpfull :-) If it is not already there, it would make a nice Feature Request! There is in the Layer Properties/Symbology/Layer Rendering an option to 'Control feature rendering order' ... Ok, so you can make an an expression like: is_selected( $currentfeature ) which then makes your selected features draw last (on top). You could at least try that. I'm wondering if that would/could not be default painting behaviour?
