Cannot select beveled curves in the viewport wherever the bevel is not visible if bevel start and/or end are set. The curve is still visible in the viewport. Selection is only possible by using the Outliner, or by explicitly clicking on the origin of the curve.

Exact steps for others to reproduce the error

  • Create a Circle curve
  • Create a Bezier curve
  • With the Bezier curve selected, in the Object Data tab for the Bezier curve, under Geometry > Bevel, choose the Circle curve for Object
  • Also under Geometry > Bevel, change Bevel End to anything other than 1, for example 0.1
  • Deselect the Bezier curve
  • Try selecting the Bezier curve again by clicking on it where the bevel is visible, around that "0.1" part > can be done
  • Try selecting the Bezier curve again by clicking its origin > can be done
  • Try selecting the Bezier curve again by using the Outliner > can be done
  • Try selecting the Bezier curve again by clicking on it where the bevel isn't visible > cannot be done

Note that there is T59271: Curves with Extrude still show curve also, and it looks like the curve should not actually show at all... which would resolve this issue here automatically...

I have re-triaged this report and can not reproduce it.
Can you please check if this is still an issue in latest build?

This was indeed solved with the Overlay Refactor rB9516921c05bd: Overlay Engine: Refactor & Cleanup, so (beveled) curves are now always selectable.

Will close, @vunhughvaw : feel free to comment again if issues persist...
