Realtime mirror is OFF (just checked).

Andy, I have tried selecting in the 3D view, both with clicking and dragging. Either way, I get "soak through". This object I'm trying to work with is very thin (a biplane mainplane) and I can't use the left view to select the lower halves; the surfaces are too slim, and the mainplane itself "bows a little" across its length.

By the way, for the fuselage right side, I just selected from the front view perspective, and that solved that problem. The fuse is wide enough to be able to deal with it that way. Not so with these wing mainplanes.
