Love the multiple path selection tool in Photoshop CC, but is there a way to *not* include invisible & locked layers?

Every day I work in PS CC is another day I'm painfully reminded of this bug. Where are the updates Adobe?

So I have a file with multiple folders that are locked and turned off (not visible).
With the Move Tool selected and holding down command, I click and drag...
normally, that would select everything that is in the area that I drag the marque over, with the exception of what is in those locked and/or hidden layers. Now, even with those layers locked and not visible...it is selecting everything within those folders. This is a HUGE issue and is slowing me down a great deal.

Is anyone else having this issue?

This really needs to get taken care of ASAP.

Im going to have to revert to an older version of PS because of this disfunction. This really impacts work flow, when can we expect a fix?
