Select identical extend beyond isolated objects

[LEB]

Hello everyone,

I have noticed the following:

• isolate a group of objects by pressing option and clicking on the group in the layer panel [isolation mode]
• Unclick on "Select identical > Select hidden objects"
• select objects identical according to a certain criterion (e.g. background color)

The selection extends beyond the isolated object.

This seems to me to be a bug, because the isolation mode is supposed to "temporarily hide all layers apart from the selected layer. This allows you to focus on editing a selection without any distraction."

Thanks for your report @LEB!

I'm not 100% certain of the intended behaviour here, however as the helpfile describes Isolation Mode as 'temporarily hiding' objects, I can certainly understand why you would expect only the Isolated group/selection to be considered by the Select options.

Therefore I'm getting this logged as a bug with our development team now.

I hope this helps
