I have the following problem: Typically, I mark objects and want to drag them somewhere else with the mouse. But often, when I click on the marked object, some near by object that lies above the object(s) I want to drag is chosen instead. That's very annoying because you have to zoom in a lot to actually grab the correct object.
I would prefer that only the object below the cursor is touched or selected and not some near by object. Actually, I cannot even see any usecase for this behavior. It looks as if someone put effort into it to make it like that, because selecting the thing under the cursor is easy but to develop an algorithm finding some other object nearby seems to be much harder.

Hello!
I have the following problem: Typically, I mark objects and want to drag them somewhere else with the mouse. But often, when I click on the marked object, some near by object that lies above the object(s) I want to drag is chosen instead. That's very annoying because you have to zoom in a lot to actually grab the correct object.
I would prefer that only the object below the cursor is touched or selected and not some near by object. Actually, I cannot even see any usecase for this behavior. It looks as if someone put effort into it to make it like that, because selecting the thing under the cursor is easy but to develop an algorithm finding some other object nearby seems to be much harder.
Can I change this behavior somehow?
Thanks a lot for your help! :)

You can adjust the grab sensitivity in Preferences > Input/Output > Input devices.
