I guess this list has finally bitten the dust, but I'm back to using Maya at the moment...

Just started working in Maya 2023 and have found that objects with visibility locked OFF, are nevertheless revealed when using the "Show All" command. The attribute remains locked, but goes from OFF to ON. This is completely nuts.

This most definitely was not previously the case, and using locked visibility and Show All together has been part of my workflow for a couple of decades, such as for hiding deformers you never want to see again.

Anyone know at what point this began? Is it a bug, or is it the latest brilliant decision by Autodesk product managers to inflict pain on their longtime user base by making arbitrary changes to long established norms?

I just tried a bunch of different versions of Maya. 
 and I don't get this happening. mine works as expected.

What version of 2023 are you on?   I'm on 2023.3.1

So far as I can tell it's the unversioned 2023.0.

Specifically right now it's happening with wire deformers. I hide and lock both the wire curve and the base. Do a "Show All" and both curve and base have their locked visibility attributes set to "On".

Insane.
