[Qgis-user] How to select a polygon feature underneath another in the same ArcGIS REST feature layer.

[Michael Dufty]

I just tried the right click in 3.18 and it does exactly what I wanted perfectly.  It allows to choose which feature to select or to select all.
It didn’t seem to be working for me previously, but I have the LTR installed as well and may have accidentally been using that.

Would still love to know if there is any possibility of operations that trigger prolonged indexing of web layers having a cancel option or warning.

Hi!
How does the new feature (3.18), right click with the select tool to get an menu, work with this data?

Does anyone know the best way to select a feature entirely underneath another in an ArcGIS REST feature layer.
The standard select tool seems to only select one feature, is there a setting to let is select all?
Freehand select actually seemed to work well to get both features, which was enough for my purpose.
Radius select initiated an indexing of the whole layer which freezes QGIS for about 15 minutes (huge layer).

Related question is there any way to cancel these indexing operations?  Turning on snap with such a layer active causes the same issue.
