Selection_problem.blend
Open .blend file, don't change view angle, and try to select cube by cliking on face of it.
Try different points.

cliking near edges or verticies works, but
cliking face of cube, avay from edges and verticies does nothing but deselect all!
I updated display adapter driver, but no help!
Tested also 2.80 version dated 24.2.2019, Hash: 6bab905c9d Branch: blender2.7

This is, afaik, not really a bug but a design issue. In Wireframe mode, you much click on the wires to select objects, not faces.

However, this doesn't make sense when X-Ray is disabled. In that case you should be able to select objects by clicking on faces too, just like in Solid mode.

When the objects are not transparent selection is not working by cliking on face.
Tested olso today's release, with the same bug!

It works on version dated 18.2.2019, Hash: 7d792976e1, Branch: blender2.7
(it was only old version I had)

Sorry, I said wrong about the version dated 18.2.2019.

Yes, it works by mean of finding object to select, but it does it kind of wrong way:
When clik to select object that has other objects behind of it, in most cases selection is picking object that is furthermost or near the end of sight line.
That is not what the user wants to do! Normally user want to select the nearest object behind the cursor.
To select behind objects 'Alt'-key can be used!

Blender 2.7x did not have the exact same equivalent of wireframe mode with X-Ray off, so it's not really correct to sat that this used to work in 2.7x. However, yes, selecting objects should work like Solid mode when X-Ray is off.
