@Heiko UX input required?
I would expect to select the object underneath the cursor on right click and apply the modifications on it. It kind of works like this if you select the arrow in from of the rectangle and right click the rectangle - changing the area color applies to this object. And with a stack of rectangular shapes it works exactly as expected, although the selection is done after the modification. But for some reason it's not happening in your example. Armin, do you have an idea why? (The issue is unclear to me and very specific, and it feels wrong to accept it as new.)
(In reply to Heiko Tietze from comment #3) > (The issue is unclear to me and very specific, and it feels wrong to accept > it as new.) With issue you mean: real life use case scenario? Well I have layered document. So an image as background (not Page Properties -> Background) Covering 90% of the page (A4). the image is bottom in the Z order. Next I'm drawing arrows circles and so on on the image (marking stuff). Say I want to modify something particular: size of the arrow heads. So I require use the Line dialog (at this point in time) The quickest way to do so is Right Click + Picking Line from context menu. So constantly running into the inconsistency, that it doesn't select in this case
UX: A great semitransparent square in front of a little circle. You can select the circle by dragging around it. But how do you open the context menu for it with the mouse? For me, not a bug.

The use case is not a question but what exact combination of object. Stacking rectangles works but this particular arrow not? In other words: I struggle to summarize the issue in a generic way.
