Correct answer Doug A Roberts

you're right, in previous versions it also happens 😞

Well it shouldn't happen.

The hide / show function should only be for the selected object

thx


There is no selected object after one is hidden, because hidden objects cannot be selected. Perhaps there should be another way of hiding and showing individual objects. You might want to detail how you expect it to work in a feature request:

Are you saying this should be the way Illustrator functions, or that you think something that used to function this way is no longer doing so?

Until V24.3 -> It did not activate hidden layers. This is what you should do now.

If you have a file with 4 hidden layers, when executing the command they should remain hidden.
