Make Pen and Scissors tools prioritize editing to a selected path
Am I missing something? can the pen and scissors tool prioritize editing to the selected path? If I'm editing a path behind another path it is often a complete guessing game when I'm trying to edit a selected path if it is anywhere near the top path.
I just don't understand why anybody would find it useful that a selected path would be ignored for another overlapping path when using the pen or scissors tools

+1, if that would be too hard (can’t get why), even „uppermost object“ would help.

if I am using the brush or pencil tool, and I have "edit selected paths" clicked, there is absolutely no problem editing a path no matter how many objects are above it. I just don't get why the pen and scissors, which are much more precise would require zooming in to 2000% or entering isolation mode to edit.
