System Information
Operating system: Kubuntu 18.04
Graphics card: NVidia GTX1060 3GB

system-info.txt generated from blender is attached.

Recreate problem:

Fresh blend file
Add armature (single bone)
Add plane
Parent plane to armature
Select armature, go in pose mode
Hide armature (I used the eye-icon from outliner for this)
See mode display: it says "Object mode" now
Try to select the plane - won't work

Solution:

Unhide armature
Select armature, go from pose mode back to object mode
Hide armature again
Now you can select the plane

Edit:
I forgot to describe the actual problem: If the user doesn't realize, that the rig got hidden while it was in pose mode, they are trapped in a state where they cant select another object.

The 3D view has no active object when its hidden, but internally there is still an active object - so internal code needs to be sure to ignore.

Note that the rules for how this is meant to work gets messy,
since this rule doesn't apply to any other view (only 3D view),
so it's correct to make mode locking behave differently in the outliner for example.

Noting that we can keep it working this way but it might give us confusing behavior.
