    This most probably happens because of the 'Select and Unlock objects on canvas' option being enabled in Preferences > Selection & Anchor Display section.

    It allows to 'select' and unlock all or chosen objects directly on canvas. If you wish to have this option split into two — one for unlock widgets and one for having an ability to 'select' locked objects — please upvote a corresponding feature request here: http://illustrator.uservoice.com/forums/333657/suggestions/48753221

    I love the idea of the new unlock on canvas feature, but it is causing one problem.

    If a locked layer is ABOVE another unlocked layer, I can not select the layer below. My cursor will only select the locked layer. Since it is now possible to select a locked layer I can't select an item BELOW the locked layer. This is pretty common for me and an easy way to work with lots of layers withouth hiding/showing to work with lower layers. Which kinda defeats the purpose of locking a layer . . .
