      I'm really not a hardware guru at all but this really sounds like sokmething with your video card driver. What card do you have? Could you check if you have the latest driver installed?

          Have you tried ticking the 'correct reverse picking' box in windows->prefernces->opengl?

                  Have you tried messing about with the opengl settings for your graphics card? i know you need to do this for some nVidia cards.

                      I also have a (2-year-old) ATI card and even that has one. If you ever find it, you should set the OpenGL settings to "application controlled".

                        i found the 'opengl settings' but only had 2 tick boxes, triple buffering and force z-buffer depth. i tried both and still no joy.

                          Hm... Still I guess it's inside your system since "SU has decided" to do so after working well I guess. Have you installed any programs / plugins lately?

                              I think I'm having the same problem.

                              In my case it seems like there's no problem selecting faces on the sides of the model, but when I try to select a face that lies on the top, then the faces on top acts as if it wasn't there and a face underneath it is the one that actually gets selected.

                              If you picture a box, I go to select the top face, but SU actually selects either the bottom or one of the sides.

                              Weird...

                              No problem selecting faces.

                              Behavior seems to stop when using X-ray (ie. selection works like it should).

                              I tried ticking and unticking boxes in the preferences but that didn't work.

                              UPDATE: Tried once more turning off hardware acceleration and problem seems solved.
