reported Unit waypoints placed over detection circles can't be selected?

[Hippo]

Not a big deal as I can get around it by zooming in until there is separation, but it seems like odd behaviour.  I notice that if I place a unit icon (I was using an il-76) or its waypoint over the threat circle (yellow) ring of a ground unit (I was using an SA-10 group), the unit icon or waypoint becomes unselectable.  Is this intentional?  Or maybe I'm doing something wrong?

In the image, I'm unable to select WP3 or WP0 (by clicking on them with the mouse, and so am unable to move them).

Is this in-game (F10) or in ME?

As a workaround, instead of zooming, you can also just disable the detection ring with the button on the top right in the mission editor.

Or don't place the waypoint exactly on the threat ring

That doesn't work simply because at different zoom level's the unit moves in relation to the ring (if you zoom out it will likely get closer to the ring because the scale goes up so 4 nm away may be shown a directly on top).  I can confirm both the behaviour and need to adjust zoom to allow selection.  Likely a rendering order thing, and the fix might have equally problematic unintended consequences.

Thank you, reported.
