Text on path gets selected when you marquee over empty space
When I need to select something under the arc, like it’s shown in the GIF attached, I can use marquee and the the type object gets selected.
Why?
Did I click the path? No.
Did I click the text? No.
That’s just the 'Illustrator’s way'. Can you make an option to disable this nonsense?

Hi Egor,
in the moment you touch the bounding box of that path the object gets selected.
