I'm trying to get a more precise selection arrow. See linked video for an example. I'm trying to select the pink shape. Even though the pointer is directly over it, it selects one of the blue shapes in front. I know I can just zoom in and select it, but I'm wondering if there's a setting I'm missing somewhere to select more precisely. Using Illustrator CC 2018.

Thanks for your help!

Go to your preference settings and set them up there to Command click to select things that are behind that can select in a circumstances like this. Otherwise, you will have to zoom in, probably about 300%.
