Lock Children inconsistency

[Lojza]

"Lock Children" seem to have opposite behavior when applied on shapes (content is fixed) and art boards (content reacts on changing art board size when "Lock Children" is on).

 

Is this a bug that could eventually be fixed? It's kind of confusing...

 

Thanks!

Well, Lock Children still behaves confusingly & there's also one suggestion.

 

1) The inconsistency: when Lock Children = OFF, an art board's size can be changed by dragging top/bottom/lef/right holders without changing content size. When Lock Children = ON, the content size changes. The behavior should be IMHO the opposite - the same as with shapes like rectangles.

2) The suggestion: Lock Children now seems to be global switch, not sticking with particular shape / art board. This seems to be rather good idea as changing it per shape could generate some more confusion. Anyway, it would be very handy to have a keyboard shortcut to toggle this switch. Would it be possible to add it? Maybe the "Miscellaneous" group in Keyboard Shortcuts Settings..?

 

Thanks for considering :)

Again on this topic - it seems Lock Children switch is only effective, when Move tool is active. This seems to me rather as inconsistency, too.

Provided that the Lock Children switch is global, it should have the same effect no matter if Move tool or other tool (e.g. Art Text) is active during resizing.
