The original issue I posted about seems to have been resolved. Can anyone else confirm?
While we are on the topic of the select widget, is there anyway it can be modified to select objects that are outside of their visibility dependency? For instance, when we want to select address points to export, rather than having to adjust the visibility in the layer widget, can the select widget be made to select any selectable feature, regardless of their visibility scale? This would really make training simpler for inexperienced users who need to do simple exports.
