Allow me to lock a container without locking the elements within
Elena Newton
I would like to be able to lock the location of a container on a screen but be able to select elements within it . Currently, when locking a container, the elements within are locked as well.
use case: I create a container for a modal pop-up, I need to select several elements within the container to move them around. I cannot use my mouse to draw a box around the elements because it picks up the container. In this case, I have to click multiple items, hope I don't miss, then move them. If the container were locked, I could draw a box to select elements within the container.

yes, please - it is so very annoying when a container moves every time you want to move the elements within - i get that you can use cmd/ctrl to select multiple objects within a container, but once you've placed a container, it's extremely common to not need to move it again, thus it seems the ability to lock its position without locking the children would be commonly useful.

Hi Elena Newton,
Thank you for your suggestion about locking a container without locking its elements. We've noted your feedback and will consider it for future updates.
Meanwhile, to move multiple items within containers, please manually select them or use Commad/Ctrl for deep selection.
Best regards,
Vi from Visily Team
