How do I prevent Unity from deselecting the current object when I click in the SceneView?

Question

I'm trying to do drawing in the SceneView window, but Unity keeps deselecting the object with my drawing script when I click.

From the docs, it looked like calling Event.Current.Use in OnSceneGUI was the way to go, but it doesn't seem to be working.

Any ideas?

If you add your own control Unity won't use the "selector" control by default and thus clicking in the scene won't deselect your object. To do so call

 HandleUtility.AddDefaultControl(GUIUtility.GetControlID(FocusType.Passive));

in OnSceneGUI()
