Check this:
In wireframe mode but… it’s not really wireframe. You can use Xray mode but it still partially obscures objects behind other objects.
So to be clear, do you have both wireframe and x-ray modes turned on in that screenshot?
Ack, I can’t remember. But I know that if I turn on x-ray I can see through now. It’s just weird having it sort of ghost by depth, I don’t recall that being a thing.
