How do I select things behind/near the gizmo? I've looked everywhere but I can't find a way to select things "behind" the gizmo in 2.80. It's like there's a forcefield that gets in the way. I didn't have this problem in 2.7x. Is there some setting that allows me to select through the gizmo so I don't have to keep disabling it while editing?
I had the same problem and the solution is to go to

Edit > Preferences > Keymap then select Drag under Activate Gizmo.

and it should work.
