Hi Nyall,<br>
<br>
I guess I was just used to the old behavior.<br>
<br>
I have a lot of print composers with locked items (to avoid
accidental movements) and was used to the fact that I could still
select the locked items ...<br>
<br>
I guess I will get used to the new behavior. Please leave it as it
is.<br>
<br>

<p dir="ltr">Here's the rationale:<br>

<p dir="ltr">- it makes it possible to interact with items which
are stacked below other items. Otherwise, its impossible to
click and drag an item which has something above it. Making
locked items non-interactive in the canvas means that you can
lock the upper item, freely move/resize the lower, and then
unlock the upper item again. <br>
- the items panel makes it easy to select locked items and also
quickly unlock them.</p>

> 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 ...<br>
