Hello John,
thank you for your reply.
I'm not sure I really understood the widgetlock, but I think the following
lines seem to do what I want - (Am I right?):
+ # If canvas was locked
+ if not self.canvas.widgetlock.available(self):
+ return True
I attached once more my patch including these new lines.
best regards,
Matthias
