bug: can't select in the middle of a very short line

[ShibuyaCyana]

Steps To Reproduce

1. add a very short line (vertical or horizontal path), length <= 4px
2. try to select it at middle, it fails, and there's no "under mouse indicator" (a green line).
3. move mouse to the outer region of two endpoints. Though it's far away from the path (considering how small it is), green line appears and it's possible to select it from there.

Expected behavior

1. green line appears when mouse is near or inside the line, and the line can be selected.
2. green line doesn't appear when mouse is near the endpoints but not inside the line.

Actual behavior

As the steps above.

Additional context

in Figma there is also a margin area for easier selection of smaller things, but the margin width is almost constant with screen pixel, ensuring it doesn't get too large when closely zoomed.

Hi @ShibuyaCyana,

I haven't been able to reproduce this behavior, could you send the .penpot file where you are experiencing this to support@penpot.app?

Thanks for the response, I didn't keep the page but it's just an empty file with 2 short lines. I'll make a new one and put it here.
