2. In the Hierarchy window expand 'GameObject'
3. Toggle off the visibility of 'Child B'
4. Toggle off the visibility of 'GameObject'
5. Toggle on the visibility of 'GameObject'
Expected result: 'Child B' visibility is still toggled off
Actual result: 'Child B' visibility is toggled on

Resolution Note:
This is the current default behavior which respect the principle of a parent controlling its children. To perform this particular action, we can use the shortcut Alt+Click on the visibility icon which will only affect the target object. It's also part of the doc:
[...]
Toggling visibility for an object and its children affects all child objects, from the “target” object all the way down to the bottom of the hierarchy.
- Alt + Click a GameObject’s visibility icon in the Hierarchy window to toggle between hiding and showing the GameObject only.
