How to prevent selecting footprint by invisible line?

Hello
I created some footprint for tft display connector, I also draw there whole display outline for just better placament.
However as I hide layer that contain displays outline and I try to select some other component above that line then it also select my footprint. Then how to draw line that will be not picked at footprint or how to prevent from picking invisible lines?


You may find right-to-left drag useful for this. In this method, any object that falls partly within the selection rectangle is selected. So you only need to avoid the line when doing R-L drag.

R-L drag is also useful for selecting lines like the outline.
