Graph editor - when keys on two different curves overlap, and one curve is active, trying to select the key on the active curve sometimes results in the key on the non-active curve being selected. #95855

When you have two keys that are on top of each other in the graph editor, it can be difficult to select the one you intend. One method that feels like it should work would be to select the curve you want to work on in the outliner on the left, then click on the key. As you can see from the attached movie, this will sometimes select the key on the curve you don't have highlighted.

Highlighted curves should take precedence over non-highlighted curves.

I have a fix for this in #107223 (pending review and testing).

Here's a demo video of the behavior with #107223:

Eek, I think we have some overlapping developers here. @ChrisLend and @cessen both worked on a PR (#107223 resp #107445).

Please, before working on an issue, assign yourself to that issue. And if someone else is already assigned, pick another one to spend your time on ;-)

@dr.sybren that really was my bad. I put it on my todo list the week before and didn't realize it had been done in the meantime. closed my PR now
