Bug Description
1° Draw an object or import an image
2° duplicate it (Ctrl+D)
3° draw a rectangle on top of the duplicate
4° select duplicate and rectangle
5° do Object/Clip or Mask
6° select and move the result away and deselect
Now if you click inside the area corresponding to the hidden shape or image, and that even outside the clip or mask area, your clipped or masked object is selected. I must precise that only the area above, below or on the left of the clipped object does it and not the area on the right.
If you delete the first object you drew or the firstly imported image the problem subsists only inside the bounding box of the clipping object : for example if the clipping object is a rectangle with rounded angles, the noisy selection occurs in the empty area between angle and curve and if the clipping object is a star or an irregular shape it occurs in empty areas inside these shapes the bounding boxes.
Already in 0.48.01 and continue in Dev rev9936 (I am on Kubuntu 10.04)
Ivan - if I understand your description correctly, this is the same as bug #365458 “clip object selection glitch” (see comment #10 for a detailed analysis, as well as the example attached to comment #11).
