Bug Description
In recent version of KiCAD the footprint selection (using the mouse selection rectangle in PCBNEW) is somewhat "broken."
When selecting left-to-right (enclosure selection) the footprint is not selected unless all the associated text items are also selected. This includes hidden text. Given that often text layers are often hidden to avoid PCB clutter, and also text is also not really a functional component of the footprint, I think this is an error.
Attached are two gifs to demonstrate.

I just ran into this as well. It's annoying enough that I'll be fixing it soon. :)
