Bug Description

If a single locked object is selected the "move exactly" operation becomes unavailable. However, a regular move (with mouse/keyboard) is possible.

When selecting multiple objects, incl. locked objects, "move exactly" is available, but locked objects will be automatically unselected.

This behavior doesn't make sense, in my opinion. It should be possible to move locked objects with either operation. In fact it is quite useful when doing e.g. panelization work or simply moving the whole board on the sheet. As far as I remember, it was working before .....
