Door click registration

I checked here and other places, and didn't come across relevant discussion. (possibly due to lack of a clear/easy title/summary)

I recently lost a full gold engine Zoltan after I left him standing in a room near a door, clicked on him, and wound up clicking on the door instead. (vent and suffocate since he was low on health and I was trying to move him into the med bay)

I realize the basic reasons this can happen, and I would think making doors only open/close on right-click would make the most sense. (cleaning up inside-the-ship mouse interaction a little in the process)

Meanwhile I'll be hex editing my save file.

edit: clarified a bit
edit edit: After further deep thought, depending on how things are implemented it might be practical and an even more thorough fix to split doors into two objects. (one for each half of the door)

I avoid this by click draging a rectangle to select the crew i want. Clicking often fails when they are near a door. Also, i pause excessively. Split seconds help.
