The check of a selected object's masked art looked at its own place
only. A click goes down from the layer (or the isolated container) and
never reaches a Shaper group's original shapes outside Construction
mode, however deep the object lies in them; and below a layer whose
Preview is off it hits art in outline. A press inside such a path's
fill, or on a path in a Shaper group's hidden shapes, started a move.
The way down to the selected object is now checked as a click goes:
a Shaper group's part a click can't reach on it rules the object out,
and a Preview-off layer on it (below the isolated container) makes the
object count by its outline.
Tests also cover Shift with Direct and Group Selection (a marquee) and
an object a click hits over the masked art (it is selected).

The selected object itself was checked for being hidden, locked or a
template, but not as a click checks it: a selected guide path was
grabbed where a mask hid it while guides were locked or hidden, though
a click on it there hits nothing.
The selected object now passes the same test a click applies to it
before its art is tried: guides while guides are locked or hidden, and
a Shaper group's hidden part, don't count.

A selected group was grabbed by any of its contents under the pointer
where an outer mask hides them, including a hidden or locked child and
art the group's own clipping mask leaves out: none of these is drawn or
hit by a click.
A container's art now counts as a click would hit it: its contents as
the hit test tries them, through its own mask and without its hidden,
locked or template contents. The check for locked objects shares it.

An image in a clipping mask, picked in the Layers panel, shows its
whole frame, but a press on the part the mask hides hit nothing: the
Selection, Direct Selection and Group Selection tools started a marquee
there, which dropped the selection, so the image could be dragged only
by the part that shows.
Such a press now grabs the selection by that art, as a press on its
visible part does: a drag moves the selected object (the image, not its
clip group) and a click keeps it selected. With nothing of it selected
there, or with Shift, a press there starts a marquee as before.
