Sphere 3d mask can't be selected. Bug?

[skinnytorus]

Hy, guys.
I'm trying a simple setup with a sphere 3d mask controlling instanced small cubes over a big cube. Once I apply a 3d sphere mask, it can't be selected from the 3d view. Is that a bug or just me?

It may be a bug, @vincent.armongn can you try this?

Try in edit mode :

Hi, Vincent.
It works! Thanks. But how come the other geometry masks (e.g. box) are selectable and movable without first going into edit mode? All masks of the same type should share the same behavior. Needs a fix, imo. But thanks again for the workaround!

? No, every 3D mask need to be in edit mode to be moved in the viewport :

Same as for setting some 2d layers such as gradient :

Or layers in perspective mode :

But in the case of the sphere mask you are right, should be movable without going in edit mode and indeed should be the sphere width and exponent that should be parametrable in edit mode ^^

Vincent,
It's OK for the masks to be selectable in edit mode. I just mentioned it because the sphere mask selection mechanism differs from that of the box and cylinder masks. All the 3d masks should be selectable the same way. I think you now see what I mean.
