    Illustrator just gets more and more abstract and borked:

    I have a locked object and some similar unlocked objects that I want to adjust with the direct selection tool so that they align with the locked objects. Simple enough.

    Except, for some reason, today Illustrator has decided that it will edit the locked object as well, but only when using the direct selection tool.

    So, to get around this, I have to put the locked object on a locked layer, but obviously this just gets in the way of workflow, so I've been swearing every 7 minutes or so when I revert to autopilot.

    This means that I've introduced a couple of errors along the way after doing minor amends, not realising that I'm amending the locked object too.

    It only does this with direct selection, not drag select, or anything else.

    Very annoying.
