Picture frame un-locked children still locked

[iaing]

Release notes for 192 say 'Fixed Lock Children not functioning for Picture Frames' - but seems to me that it still doesn't work properly - rather children are permanently locked, un-checking has no effect.

HI iaing

this seem to be working fine for me. If i move the frame with lock children disabled the frame and the image inside it move. If I enable lock children then the frame moves but the image inside does not.

Are you not seeing this behaviour?

Hi Chris,

I see - if I just move the frame, then yes lock child does what you're describing - I assumed unlocking the child (while properties are set to 'none') would also mean that when I enlarge the frame with a grab handle that the image would scale up too like it does if you paste an image inside a vector shape. If you use picture frame is there any way to scale up a manually cropped image? Only way I've found is to first group the picture frame, which seems a bit of a hack.

If not I'll stick with placing images inside shapes, but it makes placing an image a three step process when it should only take one. There's several ways to get an image on the page in Publisher - none seems to make it simple to place an image, crop it how you want then scale that cropped image up, I'd have thought that was a the most common use of images.

I agree, I would have expected this to also control scaling, not just movement.

Is it supposed to be this way?

This seems like a bug to me, too.
