Move Locked Grouped Layers operates incorrectly
Last modified: 2015-09-08 21:43:51 UTC
There are 3 related issues with layer locking. The following problems assume that you have first created several layers and put them all in a single group: 1) Lock the group without locking any layers, the layers move independently. This should not happen. Every layer in the group should move as one. 2) Do Not lock the group, but Do lock all layers in the group and then try to move, it works properly and the layers move together. 3) If you lock the group and all layers in the group, then all layers move together but some move at different rates, so the layers end up in differing positions.
What makes you think 1) should happen? There is no "locking", there is only "linking", and if you just link *one* layer, it's linked to noting, and nothing else shall move with it.
3) is clearly broken
I think that the right scenario is: You lock (or link - chain icon) the group and all grouped layers lock (link) as well - I suppose the same behaviour as with visibility (eye icon). In other case I don't understand the option to lock (link) the group.
This is actually a duplicate, and fixed :) *** This bug has been marked as a duplicate of bug 735906 ***
