Selecting the sketch from window and moving the sketch

While selecting the sketch from window by dragging,all sketch entity will not be get selected.Points which are  looks like blue dot will not be selected(i.e points created along with other sketch entity likes line,arc etc). Point which are looks like blue circle with white at center get selected.
This will cause some inconvenience while trying move the sketch.I can't move the sketch without changing the shape.To move the sketch without changing the shape I have to select all sketch entity(including unselected points) as shown below.

    I don't know why Onshape treats shared entity endpoints differently from the likes of Solidworks, when is comes to  selection (as shown above) and merging (as discussed in previous threads)

    If there are use cases Onshape are aware of which would be well served by the current selection behaviour, it strikes me that they could use a leftwards selection window for selecting entities but not points, and a rightwards window for inclusive selection (which is what most users, I'm guessing, would expect and prefer)

    Alternatively I guess it could be dealt with once we have selection filters
