That's what layers are for Wade. You would never have a partially hidden logo on the same layer as the masked object you refer to.

Believe me I've thought this through, I don't think Adobe have actually thought this through properly. I can see the advantage of not being able to 'accidentally' click outside the mask but I don't think they implemented it correctly.

Whilst on the subject of 'accidentally' doing things - I've lost count of how many times I 'accidentally' go into isolation mode when I donοΏ½t want to.

I have a bigger problem with the lack of highlighted paths shown inside the mask shape, if they tweaked this at least we could see what is definitely masked at a quick glance.
