Objects selected by action are not found by the Inspector

Hello,

with my PitStop action list I want to select everything that is NOT 100% gray. This works fine so far, but objects are still found even though they are not present.
When I select the reported object via the Enfocus Navigator, the Enfocus Inspector shows that no objects are selected.

What are these objects that are still found and by which action can I exclude them in the action list?

Regards
yosimo

Testfile and actionlist are here:

NOT inverts the selection but you must consider that there are other objects than just text, line-art and images: annotations, layers, the page!, ... and when you use NOT you select these objects as well. What you can best do is add

Select rendering objects
AND

after NOT and before the Log selection in your Action List.

Yes, my approach was to also exclude these other objects by name one by one - I had already found the layers by chance. I failed on the other objects, because I didn't know what they all might be.
Unfortunately, the results don't give any clues so I could specifically exclude them with an action.

Thanks for the tip with the "Select rendering objects" action, that works.

Just to add - Enfocus support has recommended the action:

Select visible objects
AND
