First, I clearly should have mentioned the version I use:

lc master 2.0.0rc2

Your bug report is a known issue, but it wouldn't be solved before the nearly release of 2.0 version. To work around this issue, hide the upper layer to select the lower entities.

The problem is I cannot pick the element of the upper/active layer. I simply can pick *none* of both the elements. It's like clicking on empty space.

I assume my english will do?
I use the german translation of lc. In the polyline *options* dialog there are two buttons, one for closing a polyline, one for going back to the last node. I only know this because I was googeling. Here the text on the buttons is sensless, because from what I assume should to be read "schließen" only "lie" is visible, and from what I assume should to be read "rückgänig" is visible not even "kgä".



To me it looks as if the buttons do not expand enough. And yes, I use whereever possible bigger letters then default (*not* unreasonable big). OTOH I cannot imagine how "close" or "back" can fit in these buttons. That's why I propose symbols instead of words. For "back" a backwards arrow would be sufficient, for close a symbolized polyline with the last line dotted or the like would be appropriate.
