FC 0.19, Part-WB ... How can I disable auto-highlight while Mouse hoovers over an object in the Part-WB?

It seems to be introduced in FC 0.19 ... my FC 0.18 does not have this feature.
If I try to "Measure distance" (the small light blue rules, Tools->MeasureDistance) with the default cursor setting (aka small white cross, can't catch it by the screenshot) over a brigth-yellow highlighted object (default color) it is very difficult to hit anything.
I would really like to go with the FreeCAD default settings ... means no modification of the color settings.

...

Use BoundBox selection, instead of Shape. See the view properties of Part_Feature.

Globaly this can be set with Std_SelBoundingBox.

If I toggle "Std.SelBoundingBox on the view toolbar" it seems to affect the selection scheme and not the new added highlighting scheme.

While checking Std.SelBoundingBox it remembers me the screenshot came from an imported STL-object. In this case the object is highlighted completely in difference to a regular Solid-shape of the part-WB.

When I turn on the "Measure distance" tool there is nothing selected ... it is just the mouse hoover triggering the highlighting.

In order to make more complicated ... the mouse hoover in the treeview follows the selection-settings while the mouse hoover in the 3D does not.

I recognized a differenz selection/highlighting behavior (treeview vs 3d view) in this context already ... https://forum.freecadweb.org/viewtopic. ... 33#p349426

I would like to see a possibility (as before the Big Merge) for selecting features in PartDesign without highlighting the whole thing in 3D view.

Hi,

Maybe :
View menu -> TreeView actions -> Pre-seletion

[lutz_dd]

@ Forthman ... if "View menu -> TreeView actions -> Pre-seletion = False" the highlighting (aka pre-selection) of the object is gone.

But the more severe highlighting in the 3D View (while mouse hovers over the object) is still there.

Edit-Preferences- Select Display - Color tab - Tick off Enable preselect highlighting.

Thx. folks for your help.

Unfortunately "Edit-Preferences- Select Display - Color tab - Tick off Enable preselect highlighting" turns off the edge-selection in case of chamfer/fillet editing.
