Hi Benjamin,
Locking is really non-trivial, because it needs to also take into account clustering problems. We usually first start with big locks, and then try to see if there are ways to make them smaller.
I'm not sure what you are refering to though. Maybe one of your users didn't close the window with the "Ok" or "Cancel" button ? Because it should work in that case. If the case where the user closes the window without giving some notification to the server (could happen if for example the user closes the window with the red cross on Windows XP), then the lock will stay active until it timeouts. And lock timeouts are configurable.
Regards, Serge Huber.

It would be understandable if you lock the container list while somebody really opens the properties engine and actually does the ranking, but now the container list is already locked after somebody added a container into the list.
We would like that different users should be able to create pages in a container list but now the first user adds a new page and then nobody is able to add his pages until the first users page is approved. Isn't this too strict? Don't your customers have problems with that or is there already a solution?
