Description Andrej Podzimek 2018-12-27 14:26:44 UTC
SUMMARY
Widget locking and icon position locking has no effect on desktop icons. Icons can be moved freely, even when icon position is locked (using the right-button menu) and even when widgets are locked.

STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. Create a desktop icon.
2. Lock icon positions, lock widgets.
3. Move the desktop icon to a different place.

OBSERVED RESULT
Icon moves to the new location.

EXPECTED RESULT
Icon should not be movable at all or should jump back to its original location upon mouse button release.

SOFTWARE/OS VERSIONS

There are many deployments with locked widgets at a kiosk level, we still want those users to be able to drag their icons about.
