Hi Jean-Pierre,

I just looked again, and I can select the field if I am pixel perfect
with the mouse pointer. The mouse pointer (not the grid-snapped
cross-hair pointer) must be on the pixel at 0, 0 to be able to bring
up the clarification selection menu. This is easily done by right
clicking with the mouse pointer not on 0, 0 but with the grid-snapped
cross-hair pointer being at 0, 0 and then pressing escape. The mouse
pointer is then warped to the cross-hair at 0, 0 and another
right-click allows selection.

I've attached two screenshots showing the behaviour.

Best Regards,

Brian.
