Delete selected footnote

[MikeTO]

I'm not sure if this is a bug or suggestion.

1. Select a footnote with the Move tool - X-handles appear to indicate that it cannot be transformed
2. Press Delete - the footnote will be deleted

X-handles mean different things for:

• For a manually-locked layer, you cannot select it with the Move tool and must select it with the panel but you can delete it.
• For a master page layer, you can select it with the Move tool cannot delete it without editing detached.
• For a footnote, you can select it with the Move tool and delete it.

This feels wrong to me is that if I have all three types of objects on the page and drag select everything, only the footnote will be deleted. I accidentally deleted some footnotes when deleting nearby objects because I didn't know I could delete a footnote this way.

Perhaps footnotes should only be deletable by deleting the note reference?

Hi @MikeTO,

I've logged this with the developers for review; it does seem unintentional that it's possible to easily and unintentionally select and delete note objects with the move tool.
