Able to delete a locked layer

[_mkn_]

I don’t know if this is a bug or just a feature (a really annoying and illogical one, if you ask me), but why oh why does all applications (Publisher, Photo and Designer) allow a locked layer to be deleted by pressing delete or backspace? Is it just me but isn’t that just the point of locking a layer that you are keeping it safe from accidentally deleting it? Or have I missed some setting?

Since this problem applies to all three applications, I’ll post this to every forum just in case. Apologies if that is ”over the top”, Admin can clean away the redundant topics if they choose so.

Hi _mkn_

If an issue affects all applications, there is no need to create three separate posts! Just a mention that it affects the other applications is fine. I see Thomaso has replied in your other thread. He is correct - it is a Selection Lock, and generally just to prevent accidental selection and transformation whilst clicking on the canvas area.

Duly noted, I apologize for the other two posts, won't happen again!
