Can't left click to select objects behind the TileMap

[arvz]

Hi guys,

I've got a 2D scene with a tilemap and a tk2d sprite object inside the borders of the tilemap. Everytime I left click on the tk2d sprite, it always selects the Tilemap object instead of the tk2d sprite. I then added a cube (standard Unity cube). I can select these cubes with left mouse click without any problems.

What can I do to fix this? It's actually driving me insane

Edit: It seems if I position the sprite's Z axis position in front of the tilemap it seems to work. Is there any other way?

You can turn off the gizmo that selects the tile map. Comment out / delete tk2dTileMap.OnDrawGizmos
