    About 50 times a day I have go back and select "Lock" on the inspector window because and random points when using the editor the window becomes unlocked mysteriously.
    This is incredible frustrating to keep on having to find the gameobject in the hierarchy and re-lock the window.

    Overall I have spent hours just locating items in the hierarchy.

    Why/How does this keep getting unselected by itself?

    So I caught the behavior in action. If in play mode, you select an item in the hierarchy which is part of a "DoNotDestroyOnLoad" hierarchy, all of the inspector windows will become unlocked automatically.
    Bug.

    I also found this to be the case. Very annoying.

    Then probably worth to submit a bug report.
