Broken: version: 2.90.0 Alpha, branch: master, commit date: 2020-06-29 21:12, hash: `rBf28e59bd742e`
Worked: 2.79
**Short description of error**
Vertices and facedots selection is not visible from the top ortho view, selected elements are blocked by unselected.
Architectural modeling consists of working with stacks of vertical geometry (walls, windows, etc.)
To select vertical stack of geometry for modifications (like changing windos size) or material painting is used non-ortho selection markups (selecting some part of geometry), and then expanding this selection to the entire stack by selecting elements from the top otho view.
2.79 example:
{F8656008}
Making vertices/facedots selection unobvious from top/ortho view makes working with vertical stacks of geometry unobvious and hard.
{F8656017}
**Exact steps for others to reproduce the error**
- Select some geometry in vertices mode of faces (with facedots) mode.
- Switch shading to wireframe, go to top ortho view.
- Selected elements are blocked with non-selected elements, making expanding selection hard.
