Layer deletion bug?

Is something not working like it should? Let us know.

Simple test: create a new image (Cmd-N) and lock the layer. Duplicate the layer and lock that also. Try deleting either layer (Backspace) while they are locked. Either layer can be deleted, even while locked, although neither can be worked upon.

This can definitely seem like a bug, but it's actually how most apps work with locked objects — they can't be modified on the canvas or using tools, but you're free to remove them with first unlocking them if you wish.

So will a Pro update require unlocking the layer before deletion?

Most likely not... I was a little unclear in my last reply — the way it currently works is kind of the standard, expected way, which is why we don't plan to change it.
