Pandas version checks

  • I have checked that this issue has not already been reported.

  • I have confirmed this bug exists on the latest version of pandas.

  • I have confirmed this bug exists on the main branch of pandas.

Reproducible Example

df = pd.DataFrame({'a': [1, 2], 'b': [3, 4]})
view = df[:]
df.loc[:, 'b'] = df['b']+1
print(df)
print(view)

df = pd.DataFrame({'a': [1, 2], 'b': [3, 4]})
view = df[:]
df.loc[:, 'b'] = df[['b']]+1
print(df)
print(view)

Issue Description

The above shows

   a  b
