Make selecting an object in viewport more tolerant. It is a huge waste of time to click an object in front of another and only get the object your want selected after approx. 200 clicks. That usually happens when trying to select vegetation. It has nothing to do with being a plane object, it doesn’t matter which side I try to select, none of them works properly. So just change the tolerance on which an object is being select or not.
A tab selection would help.
