Bug Description
There is some kind of smart selection which make me crazy while working:
Scenario:
1) Zoom out a picture so any small (around 10 or less pixels) is over a bigger object.
2) Click the small object (it is selected)
3) without moving the mouse, press and then start dragging.
- Expected: The small object is moved
- Result: The small object is un-selected and the big below object is moved.
Scenario 2:
1) Zoom out a picture so any small (around 10 or less pixels) is over a bigger object.
2) Press on the small object and start moving
- Expected: The small object is selected and moved
- Result: The below object is selected and moved.
Other relevant parameters.
Grab sensitivity is set to 0.
As a work-around, ALT can be pressed, but IMO, should not be necessary to press a key for that. Also, usually I had to press CTRL for axis moving, and SHIFT to temporally disable grid influence, so my left hand start to become crazy having to press 3+ key for a simple move.
I understand that pressing for move could produce a new selection, but IMO, if the press is clearly inside a current selection, should maintain this, and at least select the right object (not the below one).
For more information, I made a capture: See attachment.
I am currently using Inkscape 0.91 Windows version
Kind regards,

I cannot reproduce (see video)
Are there any special things in your file ? filters, blend modes, etc, that could affect selection areas ?
