I don't understand why, it looks like you can only select a zero alpha object by "grabbing" at the bounding box.
Don't work at all for me, the cursor simply does not change :(
But... If I view in outline mode, then I can select (and see) them fine, so that's a work-around.
Thx. \d
They changed the behavior in v0.46. There were rather long discussions on Launchpad (bug 196453) regarding this issue as well as the InkscapeForum. The work around that I have been using is not making the transparent items 0% transparent. Instead I have been using 1%. In my tests the difference between 0 and 1 is unnoticeable.
