I was using the manual interactive placement tool: Align Left.

I had manually aligned a particular jack and then set its properties to
"locked" so it wouldn't move. I then wanted to place another jack in the
same vertical alignment, so I selected both of them and choose "Align Left"
and it MOVED MY LOCKED COMPONENT.

I thought a while back, you could select a group of parts and choose align
whatever, then you could click on the one you want to use for a reference.
When did that disappear?

Ahh. I see what they did. They now choose the "most extreme" location of any
of the selected parts and call that the reference. I was trying to "align
left" and since my locked component was more to the right then the "other"
component, it moved my locked component towards the left. I call this a
minor bug since it moved a locked device without the expected "Selection
contains locked primatives" dialog.
