Cannot select Rapid objects when wireframe is engaged

[bradlewt]

Description

Normally one can select a Rapid object, like a building, hit A and place it. Currently it is not possible to select the proposed object when wireframe is engaged. It is only possible to select when the building is considered "full". This obscures the imagery it makes it hard to determine if the building is correct, or not.

Version

2.0.3

Steps to reproduce

1. open new rapid instance.
2. go to an area without buildings
3. if on full, select proposed building
4. deselect said building
5. hit "w" to wireframe the object
6. try to select
7. hit "w" again to fill the object and observe it is now, again, select-able.

Thanks for this issue! I ran into this just now and was about to create an issue with the screencast I prepared. Its good to know how to "fix" the issue right away :-).

tl;dr - how we are drawing polygons isn't ideal. The fill/mask is the interactive part, so when it goes away, no pointer events occur 😆

Fixed this by mimicking the synthetic 'hit target' code for our ways and using it ONLY during the wifreframe case for polys. i.e. we generate a hit target for the surrounding polygon (not any of the inners) in wireframe mode. The width of the hit target is VERY small, in keeping with the spirit of wireframe mode.
