Lock selected component easily bypassed

[d.healey]

Selecting the widget from the component list bypasses the lock.

@d-healey I see this as a nice feature, so you don't need to remove the lock when the necessity to move the component shows up. But, well, I might be the only one...

But isn't that the point of locking the component?

[ustk]

@d-healey In relativity I trust...

More seriously I feel good when the component is locked on the canva to prevent accidental moves, but still have the ability to drag it when selected in the list. But I think both point of views are valid. In democracy I trust! We need a vote!

@d-healey the point of locking is to prevent it from being selected and dragged because it‘s a background element. But I also see it as a feature if you want to change properties. Also how should you select it to unlock it if not through the list?

I thought you'd be able to select it in the widget list (or even on the canvas) but not change the properties until it is unlocked.
