What a shameful and disgusting way to reply to your customers.
Not even an explanation of why. Like we are human filth and not even worth your time.
Absolutely disgusting...

This is absurd. Been banging my head against the wall for days, just to discover that it's intended behavior. Why on earth should we enable gizmos to be able to pick UI in the scene view? Makes no sense whatsoever.

This is honestly shameful. There is no reason for this regression to be introduced, and then purposefully kept. UI in Unity are objects in the scene, so you should damn well be able to click on them to select them, just as it has always been. You haven't done anything to the UI since Unity 5 - the only thing you've changed since then it this regression. Re-open this issue, and fix it.

WTH, won't fix introducing what is clearly a bug?
"Hi, we made your user experience worse with this new bugfix, you're welcome!"
"But we don't like the fix"
"But it's a new feature! So we won't fix"
Starting to get sick of Unity... -

"UGUI elements are not normal renderers." Who cares? Whether you've been using Unity for ten years or just starting this is really poor UX.

To Unity team: please re-open this bug or open a feature request to make UGUI elements selectable without Gizmos being turned on.
This is how it has worked in previous Unity versions and is a much better user experience, especially for artists and designers working in Unity (who need to be able to see "clean/unobscured" versions of the scene without Gizmo overlays).
Otherwise this is a huge step backwards in usability.
