Blender 2.82a Cant select through bones In edit mode, with the bones set to wireframe view, I'm simply trying to select one bone, and then shift select another bone, in order to parent one to the other. 

The issue, is that the target bone is inside/behind another. and I cant seem to select through it? Each time I go to shift select in inner bone, it selects the larger outer bone. 

I believe this should be possible in wireframe mode by selecting the bone outline? But it doesn't seem to be the case? 

I can work around it using the outlier, but the issue of selecting bones inside/behind other bones is something I'm looking to solve.
A bone inside like that is more difficult to select but you can do it two other ways that I know of:


Double click on it. Be fast! Mouse cursor right on it, and it works.
Select larger bone, Shift+G "Direction", "child" ect and it may also help in certain situations, especially when dealing with multiple parent bones and children.
