Scene/Game View

Reproduction steps:
1. Open the user's attached "BugReport.zip" project
2. Open the "Test" Scene
3. Left click on the "Box_001 (Negative Scale, Can't Select)" GameObject in the Scene view

Expected result: The Object is selected
Actual result: The Object isn't selected

Reproducible with: 2019.4.31f1, 2020.3.22f1, 2021.2.2f1, 2022.1.0a13

Resolution Note (2022.2.X):

This problem is not due to Unity itself but to the shader used in that scene.
The shader is an Amplify shader and the last pass is not set correctly.

The culling in the last pass ("ScenePickingPass" with "LightMode"="Picking") is using "Cull Back" where it should be using "Cull Off" instead.
By correcting that the picking is working correctly:

Name "ScenePickingPass"
Tags { "LightMode"="Picking" }

Cull Off

We had the same issue for our shader in 2022.3.x

For our shader, we are using sprite unlit. We changed material to Lit, select Render Face to Both and change material back to sprite unlit again. Save the shader and it should work again.

WTF? It's not a "Third-Party issue". It literally happens with a blank, newly-created Unity scene.

One more evidence of Unity team's irresponsibility, I guess.

I am experiencing a similar problem in my environment(2021.2.2f1, 2021.2.3f1).

Reproduction steps(in my environment):
1. Edit the Tilemap
2. the Object cannot be selected in the Scene view.
