Steps to reproduce:
- New document, create a gradient on layer 1.
- Duplicate layer 1. Lock original.
- Edit color of gradient on duplicate. Hide duplicate.
- Original gradient now has the colors of the duplicate, even though those layers were locked.
This also works the other way - changing the original while the duplicate is locked also changes the duplicate.
Looks like a bug to me. Reproduced in v1.4.2, Windows 10, but not in 1.4.2, Linux Mint 21.
Please file a report.

Thanks Tyler - was wondering if I was loosing my mind. For my use of Inkscape, I rarely use gradients but last week I was playing around (following a video) and couldn't understand why I was having same issue the OP posted.
