    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

    When you have "Select and Unlock objects on canvas" selected in the Preferences, it prevents you from being able to isolate layers below that locked object.

    When it's not selected and I lock layers on top, I'm still able to access lower layers through double-click isolation. This is a bug since the feature is the same concept–locking layers, but making the lock visible somehow prevents isolation of lower layers.

    Would appreciate a fix, thanks. I'm running a MacOS Big Sur on a MacBook Pro 16-inch, 2019 with a 2.6 GHz 6-Core Intel Core i7 processor.
