Unselectable Rig in Solid mode This is weird, i'm animating a character using the 2.79's rigify and all of the sudden i'm unable to select the control bones in solid shading method .Only in wireframe and bounding box shade that i'm able to select them.

Also it's not possible to see the rig Object mode while in Solid shading.
The problem was that the rig's maximum draw type was solid. changing it back to wire solves the issue.
