    You can also use the tool Select in the Drawing toolbar (View ▸ Toolbars ▸ Drawing) (first tool on the left of this toolbar) to surround the object to select:

    • click and keep the mouse button pressed;
    • move the mouse to surround the object (the selection is displayed by a dashed line around); and
    • release the mouse button: the object is selected.

    The Navigator (Sidebar or View ▸ Navigator menu or F5) also allows you to select most of the objects.
