The Selection tool's double-click on nothing (or on art outside the isolated group) leaves isolation mode; Direct Selection's did nothing there. It now does the same.
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).

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.

Escape did not cancel a drag with the Anchor Point, Mesh, Shape Builder
and Measure tools, or a Direct Selection drag of a mesh point, a corner
widget or the brackets of type on a path: the drag went on until the
mouse was released. Escape cancels every other Direct Selection drag
and a drag with the Free Transform, Rotate, Reflect, Scale, Shear and
Gradient tools.
Escape now cancels an Anchor Point drag, a Mesh tool drag of a mesh
point or handle, and a Direct Selection drag of a mesh point or handle,
a corner widget or the brackets of type on a path. The art goes back to
how the press found it, no undo step is added, and the rest of the drag
and the release send nothing. Escape during a Shape Builder drag ends
it, so the release merges and deletes nothing; the tool takes Escape
only during the drag. Escape during a Measure tool drag ends it and
brings back the measurement shown before the press. Escape after an
Anchor Point or Direct Selection press that has not moved yet drops the
press. Otherwise, outside a drag, Escape does what it did before.
