Exact steps for others to reproduce the error

See attached video. I've set the alt key to trigger collection isolation by the way.

Yeah apparently it doesn't work very well on nested collections. It will keep all its parents visible as well.

Not sure if this is intended tho... I would prefer to have an option to whether isolate them recursively or just keeping only the active collection.

@ChengduLittleA yes I think you're right, it should isolate the selected collection and it's children only, not the parents. If you want to isolate the parents too, then you'd select the parent collection in the first place. I think it would be better too if you didn't need to select a collection to un-isolate, it ought to just go back to the un-isolated state regardless of what's selected in the outliner.

it should isolate the selected container and it's children only, not the parents.

I think that's a good point and it makes sense for the most of the time.

But hiding parent collection would hide child as well, so maybe we can make it so it creates a temporary copy of the child tree then remove them when you de-isolate? (Probably a bit more complicated in implementation tho)

It could just create a hidden linked collection and isolate that. They're hidden from the interface when prefixed with a dot.
