I found it disconcerting to be able to draw on a locked layer.
This one not yet fixed. I doubt it will be before the release.
And yet we decided to fix this. I just checked in the corresponding changes to all drawing and shape tools, text tool, and paste.
It seems strange to me that one can't paste but can cut/delete from locked layers: I'd have thought that one is usually more concerned about preventing destructive changes than additive changes.
As a developer, I understand that things are this way on the principle of "allowing changes to objects once one has gone to the trouble of selecting an insensitive object", as I myself wrote (albeit in a different context, e.g. on the understanding that insensitive meant merely not canvas-selectable rather than locked). What do people think about this now that we're interpreting insensitive as meaning "lock" ?
