      unable to select, for example, a cutting Shape
      its only possible to select the shape via Layer
      neither Ctrl nor Isolation Mode works

      see video here

        @Subpath In the recording, it looks like the composite shape was isolated (listed as top in the Layers panel).
        This is not needed, and if isolated, the composite shape mode will not work for the top object shape.

        Here is how it works for me: https://recordit.co/9U9Fg62vLT

        in the context panel, the 3rd mode (composite mode) is selected.

          Ouch, thanks for the help

          Was then a mistake of my fogged brain
          I forgot about the composite mode selection.

            @Subpath BTW: VS also has the same composite shape construction as in AI.
            Create a group, and then select an Object -> Composite -> mode on the group.

            In this case double click isolation works.

              Thanks for the info

              But I am not very familiar with AI.
              Have always avoided it, didn't like the user interface.

              Coming from Coreldraw, Xara Graphics Designer
              but i know more or less many other vector graphic programs
              and vector graphic tools
