This is a made up situation. Hovering on top you would immediatly see if it's 2 or 3 lines with preselection. This is a non-sens argument, it makes no point. Why would you want to know if it's 2 or 3 lines? It's such a rare made up situation that in this case you just put your mouse on one line and see it's 2 separate lines.
Not when you have
- new user, they are not know, that overlaying elements are (often) not allowed
- T-junction can be in skeleton models for structure (i do not use it, but others)
- T-junction are used also from people who use Arch functions based on the Sketcher (i also did not knew that since someone pointed this ~ 2 years ago to me)
- also this or mixing versions above can accidentally happen, when you you get a flipping from the solver, especially on circle elements near any quarter, combined elements, where its extrapolation intersections is near 45°, an so on. This behavior gets lately very rare, but can happen).

This was no clear to me, maybe i have overseen this. But as chrisb pointed, you click AB and get A or B, related so the selections, which is in the first sight not explicit.

I do not get why do you think that i mean this? Line is in this case not a straight line.

This is what i am all about. I was always one of the fools in the company, who had to correct or rescue the CAD models for others. And often because they use not the appropriate tool/function/constraint/and so on. This is the reason why a good overview and unambiguousness is so important for me in CAD. Of course you always have to make a compromise.
Also many people have many good UI changes (eg. uwestoehr). But like anywhere in the world, silence means consent.
