<p><span style="font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Verdana",sans-serif">I think this is a good idea. It could either be a separate selection mode (we already have different modes for selection on the drop-down button) or it could be toggled with a keyboard combination
on the existing "click" mode. Can you open a feature request at <a href="http://issues.qgis.org/">

features in the same (or almost the same) location in one layer it is difficult to select one particular feature. Could we have the same functionality with select tool as with identify? Right click gets you a pull-down menu with potential features and you
can select one from the list that gets selected. Understandable? Has this already been thought of? A workaround is to use the identify tool with right click. At the bottom of the list you can open the attribute table and select the desired features from the
table. Works but one step more.</span><o:p></o:p></p>

<p><span style="font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Verdana",sans-serif">As far as I know, picking is totally independent of the rendering. So the "Info tool" doesn't know about the displacement renderer. I know it is not ideal, but it is a technical limitation and
there are no known workarounds.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p><span style="font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Verdana",sans-serif">You can, however, display the central point (with a separate symbol) so the user knows where to pick. Also, you can easily access each individual point by changing the identify mode to "Layer
choice" - where you get a pull-down menu and you can identify each individual point by its "display attribute".<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p><span style="font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Verdana",sans-serif">Maybe a dev knows a solution to this problem - but currently I think there are no known workarounds. <o:p></o:p></span></p>
