Lock Layer doesn't lock individual elements on this layer

[Samolevsky]

Hi, I've updated to version 1.8.0, and it seems like Lock Layer feature doesn't lock individual elements on this layer anymore.
All elements on locked layer still can be selected or moved by accident. Should I lock each individual element on the layer to avoid unwanted transformations?
I guess Locking the entire layer should lock each element on this layer by default. Thanks

I noticed this behavior myself after the update both on iOS and on Mac OS X versions:

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.

Hi both,

I logged this with our developers.

I resolved this issue by unchecking ‘Edit all layers’ from the burger menu in Layers Studio. If this is unchecked by default would be better.

I am having a similar problem in version 1.8.3.641. Windows version

The symptoms are as follows.

Scenario 1

With,
- Edit All Layers OFF
- All layers locked
- All layers visible OR Not

Use Marquee select (Move tool, click and drag)

All items in the most recently selected layer are selected and will be deleted with the delete or backspace key (corners and midpoints of bounding box are circles)

Scenario 2

With,

- Edit All Layers ON
- All layers locked (even when individual items are locked within a layer)
- All layers visible

Use Marquee select (Move tool, click and drag)

If the Marquee is clicked far enough out, all items are selected and will be deleted with the delete or backspace key (corners and midpoints of bounding box are Xs)

If the Marquee is clicked closer in, the result is variable.  Clicking and draging close in to an object with the Marquee may not select the object the first time but will on a second or third try.

Scenario 3

As Scenario 2 but with layers NOT visible, the Marquee will not select anything.

In effect, the layers are not lockable when using the Marquee except in Scenario 3.

This behaviour is a serious problem generally and in particular when wanting to select items from a number of layers but leave others in place.

It doesn't seem to make sense that items on a locked layer can be selected and deleted.

Many thanks.

Likely related, but with a locked layer selected, I can File > Place an object without receiving a warning.
