Object being selected without mouse even being over said object
I really don't know how to best describe this issue, but an object placed in my file is being selected when I click within a radius around the object, but not actually on it. It's a very strange issue and makes it difficult for me to select things around the object.
See video for clarification (logo blurred because this is a clients project).

Does this object that is getting selected have a Gaussian Blur or a Drop Shadow effect applied to it?
If yes — than it’s a known problem, and request to solve is published here: https://illustrator.uservoice.com/forums/333657-illustrator-desktop-feature-requests/suggestions/31912687-prevent-illustrator-from-selecting-an-object-by-cl
If no — do you mind sharing a file with this object?
