[Qgis-user] Selecting ticked-off features

[Bernhard Ströbl]

Hi all,
I experienced a strange behaviour of the selection tool: My point layer 
has a rule-based style. If I tick off certain rules to not display their 
members, the corresponding features get selected nonetheless if 
selection is done by a mouse rectangle. Even worse if the rule has a 
scale range set and the map canvas is out of this scale range, the 
features still get selected. If a scale range is applied to the whole 
layer and the map canvas is out of this scale range (= nothing is 
displayed) still all features in the rectangle get selected. On the 
other hand if the whole layer is unticked (= not visible) no selection 
is performed.

Is there any setting I am missing or is this a bug (or feature)? I would 
expect to only select features being visible on the canvas (even if not 
visible because other features are drawn on top).

Checked on both, QGIS 2.14.14 on Win7 and QGIS 2.18.10 on Ubuntu
