Actually that is intentional behavior.

By working in that way, it basically ensures that the selection operation works on the same set of objects as the hide/show operation does.

Basically it makes it easier to know what is going to happen - the action is consistently applied to all things that make up that set.

You mention 'Types' and 'Styles' - what about named objects? For example if you have 2 objects named "something", you mean you would expect for the selection action to not actually select all objects with that name, instead skipping over the ones that are currently hidden?


What if I added a modifier key that would do what you are talking about, maybe like holding down Shift would target only currently visible objects?
