Difficulty selecting lights and third-party objects (like forest pack) in Max 2019

[thomasmiller]

I was wondering if anyone else was running into this issue and if there's a solution/workaround.

 

I updated from 3Ds Max 2016 to 2019 and it seems nearly impossible to select V-Ray lights and Forest Pack objects. I didn't have this problem with 2016. Now I have to either use a selection filter to select the lights and cycle through every single object that is behind a Forest Pack object in order to select it.

 

Appreciate the help!
