Short description of error
When an object is set to 'Disable selection' mode in outliner (triangular cursor icon is not filled), the 'Only Show Selected' switch in the graph view doesn't work when that same object is selected - the graph view doesn't show animations belonging to the selected object.

The behavior I expected is that the animation of the cube shows in the graph editor when the cube is selected. And that this is true whether or not the cube is set to 'Disable Selection' mode. (since 'Disable Selection', according to its tooltip means 'Disable selection in viewport' only).

Exact steps for others to reproduce the error

create new file, General 3d
Add keyframe animation to the default cube's position.
In the outliner set the cube to 'Disable Selection' mode (triangular cursor is hollow, unfilled) - use the filter button at the top of the outliner if necessary to expose the 'Disable Selection' toggle for objects in the scene.
Open a graph editor and click the 'Only Show Selected' button. The animation of the default cube should show, but it doesn't (the animation does show when the 'Disable Selection' toggle for the cube is set back to it's default state)

It seems to me that clicking the 'disable selection' button will also deselect the object. So that would be correct behavior I think.

Ah i see. Thanks. perhaps the problem is the tooltip text and name: 'Disable Selection' doesn't imply (to me) that the current selection will be lost (it is). ie. 'Disable Selection' != 'Deselect'.

And the tooltip implies that this button merely prevents unwanted selection via the viewport. The ability to select via the outliner can still be desirable

I agree that the tooltip/documentation for this could be improved. That being said I will close this for now, since it's working as intended.
