        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.
