Re: property inspector lock 2

2016-11-08 Thread Mike Kerner 
What I'm seeing is if I unlock the PI, then I ask for a PI on something
else (say an object on a separate card), the unlocked PI becomes up locked
with the new object.  I did think  about the location being the same, so I
checked that, but no joy.  Same token:  If I lock the PI, it doesn't always
seem to stick, either, and I end up with extra windows when I want one.

I've noticed that inspector windows stack perfectly on top of each other,
and the 'new' inspector falls directly on top of the locked one, giving the
visual feedback of being replaced, when actually the locked one is behind
the new one. Some UI designs make sure 'new' windows will be offset
slightly, revealing the obfuscated window.

The easiest way, without a menu item, is from the message box: "clone this 
card".
