[Qgis-developer] Print composers: should locked elements be selectable?

[Andreas Neumann]

Hi, Hi Nyall,

This concerns a change in the print composer. There seems to be a change 
in behaviour between QGIS 2.4 and 2.6 regarding selectability of locked 
elements.

In QGIS 2.4 locked elements where still selectable in the canvas, in 2.6 
they are not, but one can still select them in the element list.

To me, the locking mechanism mainly prevents unwanted movement of 
elements and I personally would prefer that locked elements are still 
selectable in the canvas. It would be different if we had the concept of 
layers. Elements in locked layers should not be selectable, I think - 
but since we do not have layers yet, I am not sure ...

What are the opinions?

Andreas
