Is your polygon an H/V/45-only limit? Look in properties.

When constrained like this, you cannot move the corners (they would make the constraint invalid)

Yes of course - that is it!
Thought it is an error due to the fact that Version 5.1.4 does allow it.
Thank you - i got it!

This was a long time bug. It should be fixed in 5.1.5 as well. It probably makes sense to include a mouse-context warning explaining this.

Moving to 6.0 since it was decided [1] that for 5.1 the constraints will not be used for editing the zone, only for creation.
