yeah... now its not selecting some items in unlocked layers. with "edit all layers" selected, when a bounding box is drawn, some items are not being selected. Also sometimes the bounding box is not able to be drawn until after clicking on the workspace... so whatever the fix was, it created other problems. Mac OS version 1.8.4

Thanks!!

I noticed an update was posted for the mac software recently. Any progress on solving this locked layer selection issue? Still behaves strangely for me: if the bounding box is enclosing the object it is selected regardless of whether the layer is locked or not. If the box doesn't enclose the object fully it is not selected. Not sure if this always happens.

The Designer documents in question have multiple Vector Layers. i used to be able to draw a selection box on the canvas and select just the items within the box that were part of unlocked visible layers only (the selection mode is “all layers”). The rest was always left unselected. Now, both in the iPad and Mac versions, when I draw a selection box, it selects all the visible items, even if they are part of a locked layer. This does not happen If the item is locked individually within the layer. Whether or not it is a background layer does not affect this problem. version 1.8.0.9

This only happens in this latest version not the earlier one. I’ll post an example later.

Items on a locked layer can still be selected by marquee and transformed. The only way to avoid this is to make the layer invisible. I noticed this behavior, after the update, both on iOS and on Mac OS X versions.
