Raster image selection is killing me

I'm still fighting with Draftsight because I need to make digital copy of a drawing, but I can't draw on top of a raster image. I tried to isolate it to another layer, block it, freeze it, but still I can draw on an image only when it's HIDDEN. In older versions there was completely normal selection by clicking on frame, and I really want to know why developers completely destroyed it. What I want to know even more - what to do with this? Wait for an update? Buy AutoCAD? Or maybe there's some setting I missed? Help me, please, I'm already feeling exhausted.

P.S.: Just look at this, any line drawn on top of an image is being bound to a frame. Usability at its finest.
