Blender Version
Broken: version: 3.0.0, branch: master (modified), commit date: 2021-12-02 18:35, hash: f1cca30557
Broken: version: 2.91.2 (works correctly on meshes for some reason till worked version)
Worked: version: 2.82

Short description of error
When Sync Selection is off it's still possible to sync selection by clicking on object data name (+ small margin). Additionaly clicking on object data name will sync it with relevant slot in Properties editor. This bugged area becomes slightly longer to the left when active, see video.

Exact steps for others to reproduce the error

Open default scene.
Turn off Sync Selection on Outliner.
Deselect onjects in your scene by clicking on empty space in 3D Viewport.
Select objects or object data in outliner without clicking on their name - see that Sync Selection is off
Select objects or object data in outliner by clicking in their name - see that now parent onject is selected in Outliner aswell as in 3D Viewport.

Hi, did some investigation yesterday. From current code this looks expected.
Parent element will be selected if Sync selection is enabled or clicked over name (i.e. if flag OL_ITEM_SELECT_DATA is set)
Both conditions are mentioned in do_outliner_item_activate_tree_element function call (https://developer.blender.org/diffusion/B/browse/master/source/blender/editors/space_outliner/outliner_select.c$1469)
With either condition true, it will select parent elem (if any) i.e. set TSE_SELECTED (in function tree_element_object_activate)

Here I don't quite understand purpose of checking click position: whether clicked on object name or over empty space.
Also, with sync selection off (I think) selection state should be completely decoupled.

I can fix this but will let developers decide if this is actually a bug.
