Summary0002774: Can not select points in sketcher properly when changing viewangle
DescriptionWhen i try to edit a sketch and change to "bottom" view (default shortcut "5") i can not select the dots in the sketch properly anymore.
The same thing happens in the other two planes also.
switching back to "top" view makes it possible again.
Even selecting via drag selection leads to buggy behaviour where i can not select the (0,0,0)point properly.
Its not a major issue but inconvenient.
Steps To Reproducestart freecad 0.16
open a new freecad project
got to part design workbench
click create new sketch
choose xy plane
use the line tool to make a line
press 5 to change to bottom view
try to select endpoints of line
> the line gets selected instead

> I can reproduce it, but I think its the intended behavior. In the Top View the points are "over" the line so they can be selected. In the Bottom view the points are "under" the line so the line is selected. I don't have any problems with box selection it works as expected.
> Switch to the front view and zoom way in on an endpoint to see.

confirmed but is it , a bug, or made on purpose regarding the orientation of the sketch...and with 0.17 and the "map reversed" option, I don't think it's still valid

With the inclusion of the "reverse mapping" and the clip planes (section view), it is more and more difficult to find actual scenarios when one shall rotate the sketcher view in order to operate.

This was certainly difficult before.

In the next development cycle we should look into whether there is a need or not.
