Can't Select Specific Enclosed Face

This could be related to the ‘bowtie’ glitch:

It totally messes up face area’s.

Erratic behaviour of edge intersect in simple geometry

There have been a few threads relating to this issue already but it’s not been solved or flagged as a bug as far as I can see. Try this simple drawing and see if you get the same strange faces and edges that I do. The face is around 3m so not either too big or too small. The face is flat and there is no hidden geometry or anything else in the model. Even a triple click or fence select and second intersect doesn’t fix it for me.

Try avoiding them by using the methods described
